Yeah, even IBM hasn't died yet. Google is going to be completely okay.

I always hate it when a person tries to "X Y problem" me.

I have to explain that, yes, I'm looking at other options, but I'm also exploring this option and need to answer this specific question.

People try to use "X Y problem" to feel superior somehow.

Reddit has the most advanced AI system.

I tried to post on r/showerthoughts several times over the past 10 years. And every time it deleted my post saying my thought wasn't original. I was wow how they would even know that, and this was pre-AI.

The first layoff or in this case the first buyout is probably the most generous one.

The parent comment I originally replied to prefers "ooh, gotcha" too; they mentioned the sarcastic "My kids must be losers"

Nobody here intends to have an actual conversation including you. You know this but still act obtuse.

so, you mean they still let the kids use tablets then. I thought tablets were poison.

They smacked their children. Not sure if we want to go there.

If a kid made a scene in public back in 1950, they would be smacked. In fact, in many countries in the world, people are still pro-smacking. Teachers can smack the kids with no moral issue.

Mental health for kids before 2000 was much worse... to be generous to the older generations.

They might be because they don't get to build the muscle around how to control themselves in front of addictive software. It's an important skill to develop.

Yeah, even if we are looking at some top developing countries like Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, the corruptions at these countries are insane at every level compared to US, and I'm not even exaggerating.

But Americans and westerners visit these countries and they love it. They would be like wow the countries are paradise, so convenient, and etc.

> we still did not know how COVID was transmitted

If we didn't know, then the correct action would be to exercise pre-caution.

> at that time there was perceived to be a strong likelihood of supply shortages that would affect medical providers worldwide

Then, say that. Instead they specifically recommended against masks and said masks wasn't effective.

COVID is visibly like a flu where people cough. Saying masks doesn't work for flu-like diseases raises red flags... but people who dared questioning it were branded "anti-science".

> The united states is the most corrupt country i've witnessed (first hand),

Well, you haven't traveled much to other countries, I suppose.

Trump would look like an angel compared to other leaders in developing countries.

It's like during the covid era where CDC and WHO recommended against wearing masks. Anyone dared questioning it was branded anti-sciene.

Yeah, they have the brand name already. Can sell to large traditional orgs like hospitals, governments, and etc.

Formatting, syncing, and organization but yeah the benefits are too small for many people including me. I just use vscode.

However, enough people find those things valuable enough that Obsidian has millions of paying users.

I don't think software really need to penetrate more than 1% of the market to be profitable. If Obsidian penetrated even 10% of the market, they would have been worth >$30B lol.

> antitrust regulation

This is kinda amusing.

An antitrust case over an AI girlfriend... I didn't even know there was a monopoly on that.
