> Pet peeve on Google's AI rollouts: there's no alignment across the three platforms they have...
just remember: despite they would have you believe they are are a united front... they are better thought of as a "loose federation of warring tribes".
I hear much of what happens there is from PMs who want promotions, which makes me wonder if a goal (like interorg alignment) could be met by freezing their promotions until they Google Meet together & hash it out.
I’m reducing into silliness I’m sure, I don’t have any breadth or depth of knowledge here.
Edit: wonder why Apple is ostensibly different. MS seems similar, and don’t know enough about AWS—maybe I’ve seen complaints about them being disjointed, but not as much as Google & Microsoft.
Microsoft is definitely not like that. There are a bazillion versions of copilot. Copilot pc. Copilot vscode. Copilot on Windows. Wtf is going on.
Also famously, the million types of context menus in Windows.
most large corporations can be seen like this. Thats why stakeholder management is a full time job in those places.

Googly way to put it! Nice. Might steal that :)
