It's just so much easier to stay and keep paying Microsoft than switching. But why hasn't any startup found a way yet to disrupt it by giving the users something they actually love more, so they can start lobbying businesses to sw

Yes I agree (and personally avoid ads where I can with blocking or using paid subscriptions) but many or most people will still accept that deal.

I don't understand this view. I think most people would be happy to use the best models for free in exchange for seeing ads. That's basically what google and many others successfully do for decades.

I neither like the taboo nor the opposite. Too much psychology talk in every day life, everyone is traumatised and has unresolved issues etc. That may be, but I wish we would handle it all more privately...

I think a story, maybe a video clip of a person talking about their struggle will also do. I understand some people are less sensitive to such things than others, but let's say you watch, for example, a YouTube video, even just a Short

I think it’s just like Steve Jobs said: they have no taste. That never changed and it causes them to fail time and again with innovations

"He wasted his life", sounds so dramatic, but what does it really mean. It's just an emotion like regret triggered by made up standards. If things were different and in the end they would have said "he lived his best lif

Why bother. When you publish something good, AI will fetch it in 0.01 seconds from you..

No I mean we're in the same community, and perhaps next thing I do is I answer a related question on Stack Overflow that you or someone else can use. Everyone wins, including you, because by writing you also get to structure your thoug

It's asymmetrical, you publish something online, immediately it is used by social networks or AIs for profit. Vice versa you get an app, it's not even yours. I think we should strive to avoid playing this game.. But in the end i f
