I was under the impression this was only on the consumer side? I have heard of contracts expiring and them wanting a lot more money now (forcing from generously subsidized enterprise seat plans to all API usage). Specifically Anthropic in this case.

If I watch a hockey game on the regional broadcasters, I'll typically see 2-3 different apps marketed on each commercial break, followed by another handful of gambling-related entities marketed on the dynamic signage boards during the game, followed by another gambling app which sponsors the intermission panels. It's quite brutal.

Roughly 51% of the population of the country, with almost 40% in Ontario. Unfortunately won't do much if you're not restricting it in your biggest market.

I use brave on mobile and didn't notice a thing

But ultimately that strategy is good for the consumer right?

In this context, if Google is going to give me the recipe without having to scroll through the story, that seems like a win to me.

The ad-revenue driven Internet of web 2.0 is finally dead and I'm not sure I'm all that sad.

Reminds me of trying to pick an available campsite on Parks Ontario.

That's true. For context, I reside in Canada where good tech jobs fit the definition of the low end of upper class (250k CAD) where I am not sure the same is true in the USA? Regardless my definition is wrong.

> I think the scary thing going forward is that, over the past 25-30 years or so, tech provided a huge amount of the average wage growth, at least in the US.

This is the thing that keeps me up at night. Tech has allowed a very solid middle class lifestyle for a lot of people. I can't think of another good paying job where someone is self-taught, or went to a 12-month certificate program at their local community college and now has a very good career.

If those jobs disappear, or wage growth is non-existent, I don't know where the next generation will find those jobs.

Are there caps on how much you could sell during the tender offer? I had one come through my email ~3 years ago for a company I previously worked for. IIRC it allowed you to sell up to 10% of your stock.

It is awful, but at the same time this isn't new. People have for a long time used Google searches to self diagnose their issues. ChatGPT just makes that process ever easier now.

From my viewpoint it speaks more to a problem of the healthcare system.
