All good. I think we're thinking of this from different aspects anyway. I'm thinking a company just subscribes as part of their office subscription and Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of the cost and hardware. I don't know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.

(which you seem to do and keep on posting here)

I've only made the comment you're replying to. I'm not whoever you're thinking.

You keep mentioning cost, and in the grand scale of "there's no such thing as a free lunch" there's a large cost but for users, they're just paying for a license from Microsoft to have copilot in their visual studio software or in M365 apps, etc.

So for helping with development, it's really not that expensive for the users. Also, "they" make lots of ridiculous claims, and i don't know who said it, but no developers in 5 years is a wild claim that no one should've thought was real.

Considering you're a hobbyist and probably don't have marketing, it's too soon to say it's a flop. Many games like that pop off later once it gets seen.

Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it's Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person's point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn't be great there, since it's not a private group of just the interested parties.

I'm always concerned about google maps because the alternatives suck, but google is making their services awful, one by one. I'm waiting for the day that google maps becomes terrible too. I do have openstreetmaps (using organic maps on android) and I fixed a few things about my local area there but it doesn't have some of the features I'd like and it doesn't seem like they have plans to add them.

Just as an example, business reviews. I can use yelp but it is nice that it's right there. Also, the user submitted things like speed traps, accidents, etc.

Yep, one shape is paid for, the other shape is not (I forget, circles or squares), and to actually see the non paying businesses you have to zoom way in now.

They say it doesn't affect search

Way bigger. You could have many thousands.

Well, they did it just out in the open in some dusty warehouse. Comments I've read say that's a pretty big deal.

Right, HR is there to protect the company. Your manager is (almost always) not the company. So if the manager is doing something fucky, that's what HR is for.

If an argument is being made for one thing, Fahrenheit, it's not relevant to bring up a different thing. Why is feet a useful measurement? Maybe it's not, we're talking about temperature.
