Gergely Orosz argues that recent Google departures are hard not to read as Google giving up on winning in AI versus OpenAI and Anthropic. He sees GCP—thanks to its TPU+GPU infrastructure and cloud partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, and others—as Google's most valuable asset in the AI race. Zachary Nado reposted with a defiant "never give up," pushing back on the pessimistic read.
