This doesn't make sense. They did invest in PaLM, which is ~2.5 larger than GPT-3, but no where near 100x better. I do agree that the limiting factor is the data, not scale though. What data has Google that OpenAI (or any other LLM company) can't scrape from the web as well? Using Gmail data without consent would be definitely a move towards a mountain of law suits.

And now we shall ask Lamda for comparison.

After so many years, Google should know by now, this is not the 'right' way of doing/managing things. This just pushes the coasting 'theory' even harder.

Seems like the second option to me. I think WaveNet has been integrated into many Google products. Then, Deepmind invested quite a lot in RL-research, with not much real-world use case. And now they are having a major pivot towards LLMs (see their job openings), although apparently 'sparrow' is supposed to be better than GPT-3.

My question would be: What is the purpose of all the Product Managers and Group PMs at GoogleAI?

The people who got access to Lambda recently beg to differ.
