@isotopp So how long until Google discontinues Google Search completely & they only have their LLM?

@jackemled @isotopp Google PM sunsetting a stable product because it doesn't grow exponentially anymore?

That seems ridiculous and never happens.

@larsmb @isotopp You're absolutely right. It has never happened to Google Hangouts, Google+, Chromecast, Google Play Music, or Google Stadia. These products are still available today. I won't make this mistake again.

This reply was not machine generated. I just thought it was funny.

@isotopp Step 2: Stop trying to fix a product that the company intentionally broke. Switch to something else already.
