Bad title. How did Google blow it? Their recipe was to take open source software, put a web UI on top of it, get people to use it to either serve ads or to charge businesses for productivity tools.
They're also pretty clear that they won't release the weights or code for Bard or Imagen.
Google should (and likely will) lay off more. Now that they don't need to hire as much, their HR department is a prime target for elimination. Maybe they can replace those useless humans with Bard.
