Google's latest earnings is currently the top story on Techmeme (npub1t0q…ayut). I clicked on the link (how old-fashioned of me), and noted this statement from Sundar Pichai: "Search delivered double-digit revenue growth, and our new features, like AI Overviews and AI Mode, are performing well."
"Performing well" for whom? Not the users, not the publishers, and not the WEB. But clearly, performing well for Alphabet Inc & its shareholders :/
Google used to be focused on web users.
