Given the very high margins on inference, once volume is large enough the other can also start printing enough money.

not sure it's comparable, but the issue is that for a lot of those mathematical results, they don't really have utility by themselves. The utility is the new branches/understanding that's being developped.

There's no network effect headwinds, it's interoperable with git (I assume most people using jj have an upstream repo that's on git).

(And the marginal cost on infrastructure isn't necessarily paid be the people increasing the demand)

Not sure it makes sense, most of those countries are already phasing out fuel/gas boilers.

IMO it's just cultural shift is slow to adjust (in those countries, a few decades ago AC would have been a wasteful luxury, summer temperature would be well below 30 except for a few days).

I guess might be quite a change (but writing was on the wall, the Deepmind -> Google Deepmind part was the first step)

I suspect the SVP/CEO leading Deepmind has a lot more sway over the rest of the company than someone with a title and no reports. :)

(Also the 20y+ of contributions and having built much of the base Google infra probably gave more influence to Jeff than the remaining title)

They're also incredibly productive and can build/deliver really good stuff, so who knows :)

When Eric Schmidt became chairman or Ruth Porat became president, this was more a transition towards less involvement than an increase of impact.

It's still the typical title as a stepping stone towards something else (often outside).

I thought employees have already had opportunities to cash out (there's enough funding rounds for that).

(Tho how much you can sell was limited, iirc to double digit millions...)

Conveniently Germany is about 1% of the world population. You realize that if most countries use the same argument nothing ever change? (It's only 1% how can it make a difference)
