Torpedo Bat is a living testimony that innovation through a combination of data, design, and science can happen in products that are even a century old. I have seen this before. My friend Ian Schon did this when he designed and made his Monoc nib. There are so many new ways to do old things, as long as one puts their mind to it! !

At $100 billion @xai feels like a value investment in comparison. 🙃 Jokes aside, amazing news for @sama + team. Keep on launching.

Google was once the company that made products you couldn’t wait to use everyday. From search to Google Mail to Google Calendar, they seemed like an innovation machine. Today? It feels like a shadow of its former self, stuck in a strange cycle of mediocrity, bureaucracy, and ad-driven priorities. Here's why: Vanishing Innovation: Remember when Google was synonymous with cutting-edge technology? We don’t think about it, but before Google got its hands on “location” and “maps” and turned it into daily magic, we were stuck with MapQuest. These days, nothing it creates and announces sparks joy. And even their once best-of-breedproducts have become a source of frustration. Google Search—once a revolutionary tool, now buried under AI-generated reviews and endless ads. Advertising Over Users: Google’s founders warned about this in 1998: an ad-driven business model would inevitably conflict with user needs. Fast forward to 2025, and they’ve become the very thing they feared. Search is no longer built for discovery; it’s built for revenue. Even their AI efforts, like Gemini, that been grafted into search and their other offerings feel more like products of corporate inertia than true innovation. Bureaucracy Is Killing Creativity: Google’s culture has shifted. Instead of simple, user-focused products, we get bloated, over-engineered offerings. AI Studio, a tool that could’ve been Google’s answer to OpenAI’s simplicity, is needlessly complex—designed by committee, not visionaries. The company has more managers than some startups have employees, and it shows. The bigger picture? Google is on the same trajectory of corporate irrelevance as AT&T, Microsoft (in its pre-Satya days), and IBM. It’s a giant that’s losing its pole position in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. In my first conversation with Google’s founders, they told me that Google’s goal was to send people to the information they were looking for. They dreamed of simplicity and putting users ahead of everything. Perhaps, for those of us who remember Google’s promise, this decline feels personal. It’s painful to watch a company that once led with purpose now stumble under its own weight.
