I like your comment and framing, I think it highlights a lot of salient points about the device. But to be fair similar-style criticisms were levied against the iPhone (right down to price point, nerd-factor, lack of physical keyboard etc).

Look the reality is yes Instagram and TikTok have extremely problematic incentives built into their products. But they're also remarkably useful, entertaining, and fun products too. Both are true. Do you think multi-billion-user produc

By that metric, "Phone" has been over the moment iPhone was released. Because it's a computer, not a phone. Its been over for almost 2 decades so not sure what the point of calling that out is.

Overall, would you recommend Manhattan (or nearby) with kids? What's your experience been like and do you see staying long term? Hope you don't mind me asking, I'm just super curious about this topic!

This gets at the UX issue with AI right now. How's a normie supposed to know and understand this nuance?

If you're happy with that then great! That's wonderful. But for me there's just no going back - it's that big of a difference. I'll happily pay any price to have a wire-free experience. It's just magical, espec

If you don't have a large pool, you can't provide convenience. When I order an Uber, I want it now. I won't be waiting 1hr for it.

Personally I'll wait for OpenAI to add this feature directly. I'm sure they're working on it. I don't want this solution delivered in the form of an extension (one practical reason is I use ChatGPT from mobile a lot of t

True but if this is just the extent of he can do, maybe it's better that he did it than if he didn't bother to put his thoughts on paper at all. I'm sure you'd say it's a distinction without a difference but clearly

This comment should be at the top. There's a lot of nuance here that's being lost in the original article's title/conclusion.

I don't think that post is entirely true. It's overly simplistic and I don't think any of my friends or family that work at Google would agree wholeheartedly with that characterization. You may still have a broader point that

It will not leave a nasty mark on your resume. That's your anxiety telling you that. Nobody cares unless there are other red flags to pair with it (e.g. lots of short tenure jobs, etc). I took 6 months off last time I did a job switch.
