Look at Google in 2000s. If you travel back in time you would’ve never thought Google would do something like it is doing today. Now pretend you travelled back in time to 2026. You would’ve never thought OpenAI (open source non profit company) would do something crazy that it just did in 2030 or 2040 or where you came from.
I think pretty much everyone expects OpenAI to do the bad thing in the future given their track record.
I can’t believe they haven’t already
Too early to do it. You have to wait until people's behaviour is set in stone to the point they need to be compensated heavily to switch.
This isnt rocket science, its basic game-playing on the economic behaviour of humans.

I'm not exactly Google's biggest fan, but what does this refer to?
They still just... show ads on search results, no? (Not that most people I know ever see them, thanks to adblockers.) The disclaimers have gotten less prominent, but I think anyone could have expected that. Are there other major things they're doing that couldn't have been expected at all in the 2000s?
