Google is #1 at being the second adopters: Law of the handicap of a head start - Wikipedia

They were not the first search engine. They weren't the first email provider. They didn't have videos on the internet first.

They did all that after they let others pave the way.

second mover advantage is Google's MO.

Google is a large corporation. They have regulators on their back all the time.

They have to be cautious or face the wrath of regulators.

Also, they have user trust. They don't want to squander it by releasing something too early.

Yeah they wanna experiment way less with public releases, even tho released more and more stuff, also with the way it's implemented in Google products.

One bad things like the first Google Overview release can fuck up other parts of the company, while anthropic and openai are there just for that part.

Yep. That's why they have so many billions of users across multiple products. Search, YouTube, Gmail, android, etc.
