Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it?

I expected #iufb to dominate. Seems uncommon for expectations to be exceeded so spectacularly. Tremendous win. Here's proof that we stayed in the cold until the end. #NeverDaunted #bucket

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
