Fascinating story!

Condo rental pool is a term I've never come across before.

What rental pool service did you use?

> Apollo's founder isn't even trying to sustain his business.

Good call out. It's like the business equivalent of:

You changed the rules of the game because you didn't like how I played. So I'm not even going to bother playing with the new rules. I retire.

I wouldn't take it personally

You know the real circumstances

True hurtful one-stars is a rival who's mad at your book release

And got their buddies to spam the system w/ garbage reviews

I saw a poll once re: 5-star rating systems:

Roughly 50% tolerate or like them The other 50% completely hate them

Will Karat be around after the AI revolution?

I wouldn't be surprised if an OpenAI + Zoom solution makes Karat obsolete.

I, for one, won't shed any tears. I've wasted too much time conducting interviews. I'd like to have more time to focus on work.

I use Zoho for email along with https://workspace.google.com/essentials/

Works beautifully

I do miss Gmail, but it's easy to workaround it

I talked to a friend about what's she's seeing inside Google right now and the amount of corporate and cultural dysfunction is shocking. Politics, games, entitlement, and decreased productivity.

Is there a company that's more dysfunctional?

Agreed. The level of naysaying on Bing + GPT (along with ChatGPT) is absurd.

One CEO (and company) has joy. The other one does not.

I know which one I'd rather join.

Can you elaborate on these "two really good ones?"

What did they do that made them so special?

cutenewt

há 3 anosdiscuss

Unfortunately I don't think it's that easy.

That is, the cat is out of the bag:

ChatGPT not only showed us the power of AI, but it showed us a bunch of non-AI things like:

- Ad-free results - Clutter-free results - The elegance of not having to click on links

A competitor could capitalize on this, putting Google's ad-driven, click-driven, clutter-driven model at serious risk.

This is definitely tone deaf.

Who cares if you were held the lead in the first leg of the marathon?

All that matters is who's in the lead now and who's in the lead at the finish.

I doubt it. It feels more like the end of an era.

All the so called "cool" technologies from FAANG names in the last 15 years have lost its luster.

There's a new set of companies that are ready to take over. The most obvious ones to fall to the wayside are the ones threatened by ChatGPT and TikTok.

Who knew tech could be trendy?

Yes, there's an opportunity cost to society.

That overhired person who's not productive in Google could have done something better for society.
