Does your govt not buy memory, chips, computers? They pay premium for that. In addition, so middle manager in govt will say - I will work only if I have Premium AI Claude subscription. 100s of companies are doing that. They will fire workers - cause unemployment - affects economy- health etc for common citizen.
Seems true but even at 2x that price people want some reliability. As someone that has used .gov.in services - it is unreliable. Yes, many gov services can be done online -great kudos (otherwise people will start personally attacking me for being unpatriotic). Portals like license, passport, Aadhar (identity) card sites frequently undergo so much down time.
True. But the common man on the street wants things to be cheap. This is not sustainable unless on imports cheap h1b (or other overworked foreigners).
Edit: This is not meant to support h1b.
Ideal case - people that are not on H1B and work in these companies - contact your CEO/managers. People don't do that. Instead are happy to argue (or downvote) here.

Why?
If you go that far then
- senate
- scotus
- violence
- SV
- tech bros
- lies about AI
What is not broken.
The idea of academia is it is an investment. Look at internet, DoE, Genome, vaccines - a lot from academia. Companies barely do that.
> I tried turning off Smart Features and oh my, that's not usable.
Why? What did it do?
This is the problem. Overload. It is not a google problem. If you get 200 emails - even without AI - just by using Thunderbird or k9mail (android) it will be a problem.
I know some webhosting provider that used one VM for every user. Now they moved to using this. Firstly low resource usage. If one uses ZFS or btrfs then one can save storage as in common bits are not duplicated across system containers. Note this is a system container - not traditional container. This one can be rebooted to get the previous state. It is not ephemeral.
I would assume apps that are non-geek oriented will do quicker adoption. In my experience, many people are looking at passkey like a
- Password manager that is automatically working fine on their phone
- Apple or Google takes care of everything. And users think of it like 'Sign in with Google/Apple equivalent'. Press fingerprint/face-ID and all just works.
Only PITA I expect is that banks type dinosaurs will screw up this (like they did with 2FA - with custom apps and non-standard implementations). I wish W3C would some way ban these but banks are somehow escaping standards.
Does this mean the legal team do not understand tech? How come a company like Google/YouTube have no checks-balances when sending things like this? Or do the top-level not have powers over legal team?
This bet includes you.
