On that first point - it's genuinely been wild to watch Google slowly become more irrelevant over a full decade.. and then suddenly just become utterly irrelevant overnight.

Crazy how hard they dropped the ball. gmail, youtube, android - and then that's that. Nothing of value ever again.

They're still absolutely gigantic, but now in the sense of a glacier. They move slowly/not at all, but they'll likely be around forever (climate change notwithstanding etc)

I think that’s overstating. They still do $300b a year revenue. But yeah they are deep in the ballmer zone
