I met a long time Google employee this week interventions that most of the senior management were ex oracle people.

It’s nearly 20 years since Google had a category defining product - they haven’t built or acquired a single thing that dominates in the same way that android, maps, search, docs, etc. has since about 2006. It figures.

Gemini is absolutely not a category defining product. ChatGPT is. That’s why people talk about looking something up on ChatGPT but not on Gemini. I will hold your beer while you go outside, talk to people outside tech and confirm this.
