Very cool; remember when every Google app was 'beta' including Gmail for like 5yrs? Their R&D is monstrous; nearly 2X MSFT and I was always impressed by how much we spent. The trick is turning that investment into products which has clearly paid off in AI. Then there's killedbygoogle.com
Yeah, there are a lot of people in the forums I visited making snarky remarks about Google's ongoing experiments and how they'll inevitably discontinue them soon, etc.
But to me, this is a sign of a healthy R&D culture where you test things broadly, keep what works, and reincorporate it in future products.

Agree; and the feedback tells you what's valuable, what will stick.
Yup, A/B testing in public!
