I’d bet Microsoft will gladly match all of Google’s offers here.
Just the payment to Apple would be significantly more than their 2022 search revenue. I wouldn't be shocked but it would be a pretty big gamble.
Looking at how Google managed to "launch" Bard, I do not see how they will convince Samsung from a tech perspective. Does anyone remember Bard? I hardly see anyone talking about it.

> Also on a total sidenote, if you told me 5 years ago that Bing would be a serious threat to Google I would have a laughed. If you had told me 3 months ago that Bing would be a serious threat to Google, I still would have laughed. That's how much impact the ChatGPT integration had for Bing -- overnight.
I’ve used bing with gpt and it’s way worse than ChatGPT idk what you mean. I’d just as well use Google tbh. It wasn’t impressive.

Laptops are desktops. In regards to ChromeOS, it hardly matters outside the US school system and Googleplex.
For me, one of the things that has stopped me from even trying ChromeOS is that is/meant to be 100% cloud which means no local storage and since I code for a living having things locally is a must for me. It makes 100% sense in Schools and other places where you want to be able to reset the OS constantly and stop people from breaking it. I think for facebook machine's it would do well too but again I think alot of pe…
I think people underestimate what ChromeOS can do by a lot. There's the android subsytem coming with it, along with an optional linux subsystem, so all in all it covers a lot of ground.
That said, it's still limited a lot by Google not going the full length and having half baked support for a lot of things. Access to the bluetooth stack is pretty random for android apps for instance. Then Chromebooks are mostly low power machines, so the linux substack only helps that much.
Tablet mode support is too weak to take full advantage of the different form factors. ChromeOS isn't configurable enough to alternative keyboard configs, system wide shortcuts etc.
All in all, it has so much promises, only half delivered. But the half we have now is still pretty decent IMHO.

There are addons/extensions for that! Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bing-chat-for... Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bing-chat-for-all-...
Last I checked you can just use a user agent switcher plugin to say you're using bing FYI.

That's exactly what I think. I personally also find him very uninspiring, it looks like he's basically just 'maintaining' the company on auto-pilot mode. No out of the world new ideas, and now the company is losing on the very field they were seemingly far-far ahead than the rest of the world.
10 years ago, Google was one of the most exciting companies in the world to me, culminating in that amazing Google Chrome comic https://www.scottmccloud.com/googlechrome/ Their products and software seemed genuinely inspiring. Now, it seems to just be maintenance or death. Seemingly happens with all once-loved tech companies to some degree. It's quite sad but I guess time moves on. Totally self-inflicted for them tho…

For the same query?
Depends on the query. Fact based queries should have the same answer. If I'm searching for Python, I'd expect to see more about the programming language than the animal.
Which is different from what most people would expect. You see the problem.
Soon we have a Microsoft more power full then ever but less controlled and constrained by anti monopoly regulation then ever. - after google search degraded for a while bing is competive - MS has much influence and stack in (not really open) OpenAI - MS has with LinkedLn a relevant social network, sure it's work focused but increasingly used for non work usecases - MS controls 2 of the 6 relevant gaming platforms (XB…
- Github with its new Copilot API to multiple IDE's (incl. third party)
- Typescript and standards management
- NPM, locking into the entire web2 ecosystem
