Even the demo website is on Github Pages instead of a Google domain/blog.
I think their non-ads businesses alone would be the 6th largest US tech company by revenue. (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, the ads business of Alphabet, Meta. Am I forgetting something?)

Just fucking stay away from Google products. Period.
Second of all, by whining nauseously you drown out discussions on the merits of the technology, and chase people away. I hardly read Google news on HN now precisely because of that reason. Imagine if "Attention is all your need" came out now? [0]
Save your complaint for when Google makes it a product.
or save yourself the trouble and find alternatives to big-G.
It's entirely their own fault that people now view all Google news as temporary and fleeting. People don't want to put time into things that'll get thrown away in a year.
Reading G research papers seems like a shortcut to me, know what will be thrown away in 2 years before it's a valid product in 1 year and someone gets huckleberry'd into devoting time and effort into implementing the dead-product-walking API.
Most of research don’t become their own products, from Google or anyone else. As a research project they still have values, unless you are saying Google research is garbage because they get into the habit of canceling their products.

Totally valid point. No need to complain about it in a post about Google research though. It’s tiresome.
Bravo! Now you're getting it!
(actually it's worse than garbage because they'll lock it all behind patents before abandoning any finished product)
sigh. Google used to release _some_ models. Guess the fun early days are coming to an end.
