Large corporations are great at failing to exploit their own strengths because they are afraid of anything rocking how they make money.

I would be far more surprised if google reinvents itself using a transformer-based AI than I would some unknown company.

Yeah, this is more where I'm coming from. Even if the product's technology were fully ready to launch, there are so many layers of stakeholders, existing overlapping product lines, branding questions, and, yes, pure politics to overcome. That's all in addition to the classic Christensen innovator's dilemma whether the company even wants to disrupt its own business model.

It's a lot more than removing an ACL on a server.
