I do think that’s a backfire. Telling me how long you’ve been doing something isn’t that impressive if the other guy has been doing it for much less time and is better at it. It’s in fact the opposite.

Not if the little guy leveraged your inventions/research.
That's even worse: what it says is that you are getting beat at product even where you create the tech.
Which is definitely where Google is in the generative AI space.
Echoes of Apple “leveraging” the Mouse/GUI interface from Xerox. I wonder if Google is at risk of going to way of Xerox, where they were so focused on their current business and product lineups they failed to see the potential new business lines their researchers were trying to show them.
"Not even Google can Google!"
NOTE: June 2017 update since my previous post from September 2015: Even Google can Google after all!

Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site
If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs". Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.
Weird for us to personify a corporation like that tbh. Google didn't invent transformers, researchers working at Google did.
Sure Google paid em money/employed em, but the smarts behind it isn't the entity Google or the execs at the top, Sundar etc; it's those researchers. I like to appreciate individualism in a world where those at the top have lobbied their way into a 1% monopoly lmao.
This whole conversation is weird.
First, OpenAI is not some "little guy". It's a bigger corporation than 99.99% of companies that have ever existed. It's like calling Airbnb or Uber "little guys".
Second, yes, the researchers did that but the company funded it with no guarantee of return. Your argument can be applied to any company or organization; it's needless pedantry.
