Google to Rule the World? Don't Make Me Laugh.
Alphabet as the world's biggest company by 2026? Seriously? That's the prediction flying around, and honestly, it's enough to make me choke on my lukewarm coffee. This whole "AI race" narrative is getting so overblown, I'm starting to think the only winners are the companies selling us the shovels. Prediction: This Will Be the Largest Company By the End of 2026
Alphabet (or Google, or whatever they're calling themselves this week) supposedly has this "Gemini 3.0" that's blowing everyone away. Even Marc Benioff, who apparently switches his allegiance faster than I change my socks, is gushing over it. He's "not going back" to ChatGPT? Give me a break. These guys are all playing the hype game, and we're the suckers buying in.
And Berkshire Hathaway backing Alphabet? Okay, so Warren Buffett likes it. So what? The Oracle of Omaha also drinks like, five Cokes a day. Doesn't mean I'm gonna start mainlining high fructose corn syrup.
The Chip Wars Are Heating Up (Finally)
The real kicker here is this Google supposedly selling its custom chips – Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) – to Meta. Meta! As in, Zuckerberg's Metaverse money pit. This is according to The Information, at least. So, Google's not just using these TPUs for themselves anymore, they're trying to undercut Nvidia (nvda stock price). Now that's interesting.
Nvidia's stock price took a hit on the news, and offcourse it did. Suddenly, the "wide moat" around Nvidia's business looks a little less wide. If Google can do it, why not Microsoft (msft stock) or Amazon? Suddenly that nvidia stock doesn't look so shiny.
But wait a minute. Are we really supposed to believe that these hyperscalers are just gonna roll over and let Google eat their lunch? They've got the resources, the talent... the sheer spite to build their own damn chips. I mean, come on, this is tech. Everyone's trying to screw everyone else.
I'm sitting here wondering if this is all just posturing. Like Google's trying to scare Nvidia into lowering prices, or maybe Meta's just trying to play hard to get with Jensen Huang. Who knows? This could all be one big game of corporate chess.
Apple's in the Mix? Of Course They Are.
Oh, and let's not forget Apple (apple stock price). Apparently, Gemini's coming to Apple devices. Because, you know, Apple needs Google's help to stay relevant. That's sarcasm, in case you missed it. Apple will do whatever it takes to keep the user locked in their ecosystem.
And what about the rest of the Magnificent Seven? Tesla stock, netflix stock, broadcom stock price… they’re all just pawns in this AI-driven feeding frenzy.
My blood pressure is rising just thinking about it.
Remember when everyone was freaking out about Google's AI search being a flop? Now they're supposedly the AI kings? I swear, the tech world has the attention span of a goldfish.
This is All Just Noise.
Alphabet becoming the biggest company by 2026? Nah. It's possible, sure, but it's also possible I'll win the lottery and move to Tahiti. The amount of hype and speculation is insane. I’m gonna make a bold prediction: the ethereum price will crash before Google becomes the biggest company.
Honestly, who even cares? The stock market is a casino, and we're all just betting on which chip is gonna land on red. I'm gonna go back to my lukewarm coffee and try to ignore the screaming void of the internet for a few minutes. Maybe I'll even succeed... nah, probably not.
