alt Hacker NewsRecently there's been a lot of talk about how Google has fallen behind and missed the AI boat. Now today with Gemini 4 they're back in the boat. But give it a few months, people will be counting Google out again. This has been a repeating pattern for at least a couple years now.

Google aren’t back in the boat. They’ve announced that they have seen the boat, intend to swim over to it and will sail not quite as fast or as far as the other boats.
Google should be dominating, but instead all we currently have is a disparate collection of consumer facing apps and a flash model that’s fast, clever and expensive.
Muse and Dots are doing what Google should have brought out last year, with their resources and know-how.
The thing is, Google doesn't have to scramble and freak out every time the others do some impressive update, because they have stable income, the other two do not.
