I've been very critical of the media lately for good reason, but there's still awesome journalism being done. Bloomberg's coverage of the cultural problems inside Google was KICK ASS. I referenced it on my Substack. Bloomberg also called out the bloated, too expensive to serve, bench-maxxed Gemini 4 Argon early. Well done, Bloomberg! Truly helped readers with factual accurate reporting! You win Tae's Gold Star of Gratitude.
