If they’re doing it cheaper and maintaining standard, sure

Less competition is also good. nothing is bad and that’s good.

They think they will make money when these people create accounts after they can't share. They won't create accounts and the people sharing to them will unsubscribe. Plus unsubscriptions from normal non sharing people caught in the cross fire.

DAE remember when Opera was good and innovative?

Opera died the day they threw out their own engine in favor of chromium.

in the probably near future using these AI chat apps to help on essays ( help, not blindly forwarding the first thing it sends you) will be as common as using calculators for math.

I think you haven't used chatGPT

>we already have this with things like Alexa and Google Assistant

chatGPT is several orders of magnitude better than google assistant,

Yeah better to pay Boeing ten times as much for the same service.

neat, i use opera GX. i like it a lot. (ya ya i know)

He'd love it on reddit. Every business a redditor doesn't use or understand is money laundering.

If it can get people to use Bing, anything is possible

I never claimed that overall, I just mean in the context of searching for information. Sure, ChatGPT can write me a whole essay and Google search and Alexa can't do this, but I'm never searching for an essay to be written for me from search engines in the first place. I see these chatbots as a whole new complimentary thing rather than a search engine replacement.

No doubt those people could ask ChatGPT and it would provide an answer that would seem satisfactory.

Plot twist: the answer is "yes", because they asked ChatGPT if it was okay to have unprotected sex and pull out at the last second as an effective method of anti-conception and the bot answered "yes".

Lmao no way Alexa can do a fraction of the capabilities

RIP Opera, I used it a lot back in a day…

[2016](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)#Acquisition_by_Chinese_consortium), apparently

> In 2016, the company changed ownership when a group of Chinese investors purchased the web browser, the consumer business, and the Opera Software ASA brand. On 18 July 2016, Opera Software ASA announced it had sold its browser, privacy and performance apps, and the Opera brand to Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I Limited Partnership, a consortium of Chinese investors.

It's not enough to make enough money, you have to make more than last quarter. Product will turn to shit but shareholders only care about returns

Why do people keep saying this? Sure, for some trivia type knowledge it might be faster to ask the chatbot, but we already have this with things like Alexa and Google Assistant. When I'm really searching for something I'm looking for different sources, and I try to determine the best solution from everything I've read or watched if videos are helpful to the context. I'm not going to be satisfied with a single text answer from a chatbot.

Why does it matter what subsidies we give the petroleum industry as long as they put gas in stations for us to buy?

It is not a competition if everybody use chromium, which is defacto controlled by Google while only real competitor Firefox devs Mozilla is sponsored by it.

Indeed there has been lots of progress since. It just seems needlessly complex, so many potential failures from all the valves/seals/connections/feeds/controllers/bonds etc. All the complexity of one engine, times thirty three.
