Honestly it has become pretty crappy. Well over a year ago it was actually useful. I imagine it's due to EU law, but it could just as well be a failure in leadership.
It repeats itself continously, even when specifically asked not to. And it just doesn't come up with interesting stuff any more. I consider canceling my subscription regularly.
I should add that I've built stuff on top of it and it was quite exciting. Now I am just curious about future foss solutions to get back to experimenting for real.
"It's bad because of EU regulation" is the new "it's bad because it's woke".
@gerikson @techtakes I think you'll find Boris Johnson pioneered that one in the early 1990s.
True, but it's recently crossed the pond to Silicon Valley. I think it was when the DMA affected Apple that a lot of hackernews became EU regulation experts and started grappling with the fact that laissez-faire is seen as a dirty word in the country where it originated.
