Ingesting PDFs and why Gemini 2.0 changes everything

Remember all the hyperbole a year ago on how Google was failing and over?

Anyone who cries “<service> is dead” after some new technology is introduced is someone you can safely ignore. For ever. They’re hyperbolic clout chasers who will only ever be right by mistake.

As if, when ChatGPT was introduced, Google would just stay still, cross their arms, and say “well, this is based on our research paper but there’s nothing we can do, going to just roll over and wait for billions of dollars to run out, we’re truly doomed”. So unbelievably stupid.
