Everything said about Google Search, oldest first

Dec 10, 2022 neutral
Assertion Supported
Friedberg: Google Search ranking relies on significant manual intervention
“And it was always the secret at Google. How did the search results get ranked? And I can tell you, it's not just a pure algorithm that there was a lot of manual intervention, a lot of manual work.”
David Friedberg Dec 10, 2022 ▶ 14:40 E107: The Twitter Files Parts 1-2: shadow banning, story suppression, interference & more
Jan 6, 2023 bearish
Prediction Didn’t hold up
Chamath predicts Google Search will lose 10% to 15% usage in 2023
“So I think that, you know, Google could lose 10 or 15% of usage to all these other sites. And that may not make any of those sites that relevant, but it'll have a material measurable impact to Google”
Chamath Palihapitiya Jan 6, 2023 ▶ 39:06 E110: 2023 Bestie Predictions!
Feb 11, 2023
Assertion Partly supported
Friedberg estimates a ChatGPT query costs 30 cents, 10x traditional search
“A recent estimate on running the GPT three model for chat GPT is that each result takes about 30 cents of compute. So it's about an order of magnitude higher cost to run that search result than it is to do it through a traditional search query.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sacks: Gemini answer boxes will eat the rest of Google search

Opinion
Chamath: ChatGPT is running away with market share in AI search
“And whether we like it or not, and whether they like it or not, the reality is that ChatGPT is running away with it.”

May 16, 2025 neutral
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Google's AI search queries are 2-3x longer than traditional searches
