I find the GitHub issue experience particularly hellish: search for my issue -> there it is! -> only comment "Found 3 possible duplicate" Generated with Claude Code -> go to start.
the "I live in Seattle but don't like my 45min commute" anti-RTOer is only the tip of the iceberg for a company like Amazon. every team I saw there was built up during the fully remote covid years - and comprised of ~50% folks from all over the country. "RTO" so far has meant someone living in Virginia picks up and commutes to their newly-assigned office in Arlington where none of their teammates are located. most people aren't open to picking up and moving cities now, and even if they are I've heard relocation packages are hard to get.
sure, in person work was great before covid but these companies have put themselves in an impossible situation when they spent 3 years hiring fully remote workers from around the country/world.

Which is why many people think this is how you do voluntary layoffs. Can't move to where you need to go to the office? I guess your're gone - you can show yourself out the door.
In the end, these companies still see their employees as being expendable.
Are they? Have you tried Gemini lately? They might be competing on the services side, but the only two peer competitors in the chatbot space are Anthropic and OpenAI.
They do have a chat ui. It's not as robust afaik, but I don't see why they can't expand on it. It would be a nice addition to their storage/Google one offering
I think they're suggesting that highly popular sites like ChatGPT get a ranking boost beyond regular page rank, making SEO efforts unnecessary.
But I don’t think that’s the case, at least not artificially. These sites tend to rise naturally in search rankings because they have a huge volume of links and media coverage. Which still makes SEO efforts unnecessary.
