Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious.

Google’s cloud business is “thriving”, which is just a nice way of saying it’s finally catching up to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company’s AI and AI infrastructure services are being adopted by companies, because who doesn’t want to pay for AI? The “record profits” are likely due to the fact that Google is just really good at selling things to other companies. And by “record profits”, we mean “profits that are still a fraction of what Amazon makes from AWS”.
