    “Google's AI Overviews now reach more than 1.5 billion people every month” is factually true but leaves out the true story.  It's not that people _want_ false AI summaries, it's just that a monopolist can do whatever.

    I don't know you, but seeing the economy as a whole, seeing all the layoffs, and all, and all these massive companies growing 10%+ at every profit announcement... it looks awfully bad.  —  I'm not sure many understand what it means for a company this size to still have a revenue …

    Google has once again made enough money to continue operating for another quarter

    Alphabet just crushed its quarter, and they also announced $70 billion on stock buybacks.  It's a smart play that signals confidence in its performance, but it also hints they might be pulling back on other investments to make it happen.  —  RE: https://www.threads.net/...

    $GOOGL reporting strong numbers especially on the ad front with: - ad revenue +8.4% to $66.9B (Search even higher). - Cloud rev up 28% YoY. Will be interesting to see comments on the current quarter given the macro.

    On Google Q1 earnings call today, not one Wall Street analyst asked abt headlines coming from DOJ monopoly trial on hiving off Chrome. They ARE watching this trial & there was only 1 question on how Gemini's 35mn daily active user base is going to catch up with ChatGPT #antitrust

    Alphabet CEO @sundarpichai: “We're pleased with our strong Q1 results, which reflect healthy growth and momentum across the business.. Search saw continued strong growth, boosted by the engagement we're seeing with features like AI Overviews, which now has 1.5B users per month” […

    $GOOG First Take  • Results are good but not great.  • Growth is slowing, as expected.  • Stock up 3% because the revenue growth deceleration was in line with expectations.  • Guidance on the call is key to how the stock trades tomorrow.  • EPS would have been $2.16 backing out t…

    Meta and Amazon pushing up in after hours after Alphabet topped estimates on 1Q revs and profit. 1Q Google cloud revenue slight miss ($12.26B vs $12.32B) All about search init

    In other words that's how many people use Google Search, since you can't opt out of that nonsense.  [embedded post]
  • @ericjhonsa Eric Jhonsa on x
    $GOOG reporting 1.5B AI Overviews users and monetization already on par with search, a 200%+ increase in AI Studio and Gemini API active users since the start of the year, and a tight supply/demand environment for GCP. Rumors of AI capex's demise may be greatly exaggerated.
  • @hedgeyecomm @hedgeyecomm on x
    $GOOGL AI Overviews 1.5B users per month (And that is why comparing Gemini App Users to ChatGPT is not a clean or proper comparison)

    Alphabet just dropped Q1'25 earnings, and the @YouTube engine keeps firing. Here are the KPls they reported-and my estimates for the ones they didn't: 1️⃣ Ad Revenue: $8.9B, up 10% YoY (Reported) 2️⃣ Subscription revenue: ~$4.5B, up 26% YoY (my estimate) This growth was driven [i…

    New: a fun lil earnings scoop 🚨 There was an $8B increase in profit in Alphabet's latest report that was just nagging and nagging at me. The accounting didn't make sense. Finally got to the bottom of it: the boost came from unrealized gains from a 2015 investment in SpaceX. [imag…
