Hehe, Google used to be cool when I studied but now it's just advertising and zero customer contact. But sure, business (or maybe big corp) fits now where it used to be more of a startup enterprise back in the late 2000. We worked with them on a project in 2018 and given the hard hiring processes they at least used to have, I was surprised to find that even inexperienced interns did better than what we got back. I'm sure it was a one-off case but the after-taste is still bitter. On the Grok side, I think of Tesla self driving. They've been doing AI for a long time. I used to own one and they never got to what they promised (self driving by the end of 2019) but it was really good for my taste. I still think of it as the best car I ever owned even though I went back to a gas guzzler when moving to the US. But hey, only 13mpg and it still uses less electricity than a Tesla;)
