Google has the leading LLM AI model with Gemini but usage is very low.

Chamath from the All in Podcast says that Gemini needs to be made the front of everything at Google except the main search page. They can figure out how to deal with the main search integration with AI later.

Overall advertising brought in $66.89 billion, up 8.5% from the year prior.

The company's Search and other segment reported $50.7 billion, up 9.8% from $46.16 billion a year prior. Alphabet said AI Overviews, its AI tool placed at the top of Google's search results page, now has 1.5 billion users per month, up from one billion in October.
