I thought that the likes of Android, Google Docs, Google Translate, etc. were fairly successful. Chrome and ChromeOS also seem fairly popular too.


A lot of those are getting pretty close to 20 years ago.


This year:

chromeos is 17

android is 18

chrome is 18

google docs is 20

google translate is 20


In retrospect, it is wild how good/successful google was 17-20 years ago!


Few years ago, we had Google Bard, the ancestor of Gemini, which was supposed to be an AI LLM, and when you right-clicked the page, it was a fake page with hardcoded sentences in a .js file...


> was supposed to be an AI LLM

Are you claiming Bard wasn't an LLM???


None of them looks like their original form, none would survive without google’s enormous investment.
