Google's recent AI moves have directly turned the tide; capital is the reality. --- Wait, is Apple really falling behind? Feels like I just realized. --- Institutions have long seen through the AI bottom-fishing strategy... Money flows where it wants to go. --- Honestly, Google is now all-in on AI, much more aggressive than Apple, so the change in rankings is no surprise. --- Capital is re-aligning, will the next rotation be another company? Thinking... --- With AI so hot, retail investors follow the trend and hype, while institutions are quietly positioning themselves, always a step behind.

Has Google really made a comeback? They used to say Apple was invincible, and now they've been overtaken... The sense of capital is just too sharp.
