This is a potentially deep topic and something I could say a lot about (speaking as a 6+ year Xoogler) but I’ll avoid going not the weeds.
I see where you’re going but don’t entirely agree.
For one I think extracting every dollar is true but my theory is that comes from Ruth not Sundar. I mean Ruth would’ve been brought in for that purpose but that goes up to the board and Larry.
I also see where you’re going with the terminal cancer part but again I wouldn’t put it that way. I would say that Google is in a similar position to Microsoft after the antitrust case: it was directionless. It doesn’t know what it stands for or what it’s mission is anymore. Everything is a search for purpose. And this is really a failure in leadership.
This lack of leadership is what allowed the incredibly tone deaf military AI program to happen.
I also don’t think google search has stood still or is in danger from Bing.
