  • Introduction to Video Content
  • There seems to be a problem in Google's culture, as pointed out by Laura Marti from Needham. In addition to the layoffs that were announced earlier in the year, Google is now tightening its belt, which raises questions about the impact on the company's stock. While it may appear to be a positive move in terms of reducing expenses, it is causing discontent among employees. The transition back to the office, after working remotely for an extended period, has been inconvenient for employees. Moreover, the limitation on access to basic office supplies, such as Apple products and staplers, is adding to their frustration. These seemingly insignificant issues are significantly irritating some of the most valuable employees in the software industry. Despite these concerns, Laura Marti maintains her positive outlook on the stock and believes its valuation is favorable. However, she hopes that government intervention will split Google into separate entities, with a particular interest in seeing the ad tech business and YouTube being spun off. She believes this would benefit shareholders by reducing reliance on Google's profitable search engine. Moving on to the topic of artificial intelligence, Laura Marti comments on the arms race between Microsoft and Google. Microsoft has taken the lead with projects like Chad GPT and their partnership investments. In contrast, Google has faced setbacks and has yet to bring any significant products to the market in this field. Marti finds this situation disgraceful, considering that just five years ago, the majority of machine learning engineers were employed by Google and its parent company Alphabet. In contrast, Microsoft, which had no engineers in this field five years ago, already has a product on the market. Overall, Marti's insights highlight the concerns within Google's culture and its shortcomings in the realm of artificial intelligence.

  • Yeah we do.
  • And we really hope they we hope the government splits it apart.
  • We hope they make them spin off ad tech.
  • We'd love to see YouTube spun off.
  • We think the more entities that get further away from that wonderful search engine profit center the better it is for shareholders.
  • Want to get your thoughts on a regenerative day.
  • I the arms race.
  • Microsoft is really sort of first out of the gate with Chad GPT and the partnership and the investment there.
  • And it seems like at least to start Bard has had some stumbles.
  • Your thoughts.
  • Agreed.
  • I think it is sort of disgraceful that five years ago 80 percent of all machine learning engineers were either at Metta or Alphabet.
  • And today we don't have an actual you know product in the market from Google or from Alphabet.
  • And we have one from Microsoft which didn't have any engineers in a five years ago.
  • So I would say there's something wrong in the culture of Google that for some reason it has to follow other products which means it doesn't set market parameters.
  • It doesn't have pricing power like in cloud.
  • It's losing money versus Amazon who created the market is making 30 percent margins.
  • So being a fast follower you know is not as good as being a leader if you're creating new markets which is a new market.
  • It sounds like you're saying put down the staplers and focus on broader restructuring.
  • Yes.
  • And I also think FTSE that don't get along like between Google I and deep brain should all be fired because these are businesses and they're supposed to be have a common goal.
  • Analyses of maximizing profits.
  • So when engineers don't speak they all need to be fired in my opinion.
  • Laura Martin you're never one to mince words when you come on CNBC.
  • Appreciate your insights today.
  • Thanks for joining me.
