The Google AI Paradox
Google researchers wrote the "Attention Is All You Need" paper that invented the transformer architecture underlying all modern LLMs. Google DeepMind produced AlphaFold, AlphaStar, and Chinchilla scaling laws. And yet, the public narrative of the AI race gave OpenAI first-mover advantage in consumer AI, ChatGPT became the fastest product to 100 million users, and Google spent 2023 in reactive mode. This paradox is the most interesting narrative in tech prediction markets.
