Why? Google makes a shit ton of money from Search, Microsoft doesn't. The whole Bing AI stuff is already a huge money sink for them, how much can they afford to throw into this pit before investors start being worried?

I don't think the point being made here has anything to do with the current quality of the output. ChatGPT could be giving good or bad results, that's tangential. The debate here is about whether a system that is a parrot can be a

Exactly, this is why many of the Apple services are useless unless you are 110% in their ecosystem. At least Apple Music is the one app they somehow made available on Android and Windows.

Exactly. I think given the choice of having a free experience with ads vs the subscription model, the majority of people would pick the former. This model won because this model works best. The hardest part is getting users, and as you say,

So basically, N Dash is a rich man's hyphen and M Dash is a rich man's comma?

Wouldn't the alternative rather be to use commas there, not a hyphen? "Sometimes writing for money, rather than for art or pleasure, is really quite enjoyable." In your head, do you read those differently?

There's a huge difference between "in a company of 150K+ engineers, a non-negligible number of them are probably not very productive" vs "over-hired talent to do fake work". At that scale, there will always be ineff

Regardless of the low level effect, if there was a measurable difference, wouldn't it be fairly trivial to have a trial where people measure healing time of this vs a normal bandage, to see if the difference is statistically significan

While there's been a lot of attention on cases where AI fails quite poorly (such as anything requires factual information), it is actually very good in specific use cases. I personally find it very useful for answering NP-hard-like que

How so? You can go right to Google maps and see "1Password Park" right there. Do you not think that thousands of people seeing "1Password" on maps and other signage as they pass by will one they lead them to choosing 1Pa

The latest saga with Twitter's API going paid is a whole other can of worm, but APIs everywhere have been closing down and becoming more restricted in the past few years. I guess the bot and scam usage of APIs cause more headache for c

Exactly, I love the web. I love being able to switch between my chromebook and other computers, multiple operating systems. I also like it all being in the cloud.

Even if they were, who's more likely to pay for an API, the scammer making shit ton of money from tricking twitter users, or the hobby dev making a cool integration with Twitter that brings people to Twitter?

I'm curious why are you looking at 2021 specifically? Isn't the whole idea that 2021 was a huge year for every tech company, leading to overhiring, followed up by 2022 which was a rough year for every tech company? They went from

I agree with GP that foreign buyers are mostly a scapegoat, but unlike GP, I do believe zoning is the main issue. Giving zoning power to local politics will always end up with the same issue. Rich homeowners voting for board members who pas
