    That works well for controlled devices like phones, tablets, and TVs, but it’s much harder on desktops unless you expect parents to become IT administrators.

    This isn’t going to generate billions in additional revenue. That is a huge exaggeration. I do agree with your underlying argument, though. It will likely help them gain market sha…

    Bubbles can be great for short-term returns. I just hope pension funds and other long-term investors don’t end up buying into them.

    It's basically the confidence and being blunt. Pretty much like that Office Space scene when main character meets the Bobs.

    Looking back it seems like a very bad deal.

    Limits are beneficial. They should be treated as a design feature, not just a stopgap. When something is abundant, people tend to waste it. I’m perfectly happy with my base subscri…

    I pretty much only use Google for news searches these days. Even then, it’s mostly just to get a surface-level view before cross-referencing with other engines for anything importa…

    I agree with parent. I'm not sure where your stance is coming from. From what I hear, most enterprise AI deployments are seat-based subscriptions with annual commitments.

    That's ridiculous. You're making it sound like they were working for Nazi Germany. Have some empathy for people losing their jobs because of upper management’s incompetence.

    Your sentiment should be redirected to the leadership team and execs, not the engineers themselves.

    I think a lot of LLMs are trained on corporate communications, and since companies have been copying each other for years, it’s hard to tell them apart.
