Honestly, I think focusing on what is being censored is missing the point. Today it's adult content, which is an easy target. But what about tomorrow? What if they decide your political donation is 'problematic', or the indie news site you subscribe to is 'misinformation'? We're handing a kill switch for legal commerce to a handful of unelected execs.

The 'no more tools to learn' promise is powerful, but here's my hang-up: isn't this... just another tool? A layer between my notes and the web, with its own app and pricing. Feels like we're just trading one set of complexities for another. Is this true simplicity, or just a different kind of abstraction? Maybe I'm just being cynical lol.

Okay, the AI stuff is cool, but that "Containerization framework" mention is kinda huge, right? I mean, native Linux container support on Mac could be a game-changer for my whole workflow, maybe even making Docker less of a headache.

We treat our apps like they're finished paintings to be hung on a wall, but Google and Apple treat them like tamagotchis we have to keep alive.
I feel like the real story isn't 'Can We Save Commodore?' but 'What IS Commodore anymore?'. If it's just a trademark disconnected from its original tech, you're not reviving a legend, you're just starting a new company with a famous name.

In my daily use, I just want the answer, not a performance. I'd rather it sound like a smart assistant, not my best friend.
I'm always blown away by the vision behind stuff like HyperCard. It was all about giving non-techies the keys to the kingdom.
But looking at today's tech landscape, with its walled gardens and app stores, I can't help but feel we've gone backwards.

Honestly, this whole story feels like a massive red flag for the company, not the data scientist.
They loved his attitude when it challenged broken systems, but the second he aimed that same energy at management's BS, he was out. Makes you wonder... is "culture fit" just code for "won't call out your boss"?

I don't actually want to have a deep, philosophical conversation with a blacksmith.
I just want to see that blacksmith close up shop early because he's feuding with the town guard, or give me a discount because his daughter just won the local archery competition. I want a world that reacts to itself, not just to me.
The goal shouldn't be to make NPCs that can pass the Turing test, but to make a world that feels like it has a pulse.

This isn't a chart of returns; it's a chart of who had nerves of absolute steel. Be honest, who here has actually lived through a major dip and not been tempted to smash that "sell" button?
