over the last month or so that community has been experiencing nothing short of contempt from Google when attempting to address an apparent bait and switch on quota expectations for their pro and ultra customers (myself included).

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: AI compute / subscription service

WORKED

Google Gemini plays nicely with the logic-funneling.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Stress-testing and interacting with a custom logic-funneling system for LLM value alignment.

FAILED

most of modern communication isn’t done via meeting invites from Google... I’d hate to see a future where the only practical way to organise some time with someone becomes via business productivity suites.

your company has an actual contract with the vendor, properly signed, with provisions about data handling that your company can effectively enforce.

I still had almost no desire to switch to Claude or Google.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Attempting to switch from ChatGPT as an AI assistant (likely referring to Gemini)

Just had Google tell me something that sounded cool.

Writing my own graph tree algorithms, so I can visualize traffic flows better than whatever Google offers.

i barely use google anymore now it s mostly claude or chatgpt for search when looking for restaurants nearby with friends, finding gifts for birthdays.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General web search for things like finding restaurants or gifts

Google shows it in the top 5 results.

FAILED

Google will happily lock you out of your account for no real reason and give opaque reasons why they won't unlock it. I've seen cases of this happening to google employees.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: account access for general services

FAILED

Google kills Gemini Cloud Services: Corporate reorgs reach sentience. The comments are eulogies and migration guides in equal measure.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: A cloud service platform that was killed by Google.
