Go to Facebook, ESL Coach Shane, and we're on Google Plus, that is Let's Master English, the name of our community, but the best place to visit and leave a comment is our website, www.letsmasterenglish.com. All right, am I speaking too quickly? Am I speaking too slowly? I used to speak this slowly, but now I have learned to pick it up.
Coach ShaneHOST
Sorry, that's kinda silly.
Coach ShaneHOST
Check out the dialogue two more times.
Cory DoctorowGUEST
They wanted to dangle the minimum amount of features that would bring users in, but then find ways to maximize the pain that users would feel if they left.
Cory DoctorowGUEST
In particular, there's a bit where they're rolling out photos like a new version of their Photos app at the time that Google Plus is rolling out.
Cory DoctorowGUEST
And there's this memo to Mark Zuckerberg from the product manager saying, hey, we really need to make sure, as discussed in our meeting, that this Photos app convinces people to upload as many of their family photos as possible because we have no way to export them, which means that they're going to have to choose between their family photos and the superior features on Google Plus.
Cory DoctorowGUEST
So it's not the conduct of a firm that thinks that it's giving people what they want.
Cory DoctorowGUEST
It's the conduct of a firm that is taking hostages.
Matt MervisHOST
So we'll put the link into the show notes, but I am going to do actually like the example they gave.

Richard CampbellHOST
It's not the way they're going to be successful.

And so in March, they'll restructure OpenAI to become what they call a capped profit company, which is funny because this is all around the time that likely they're talking to Microsoft because in June, Kevin Scott announced wrote an email to Bill Gates and Satya Nadella called Thoughts on OpenAI, where he talked about the fact that OpenAI and DeepMind and Google Brain were well ahead of Microsoft and that there was an opportunity to invest in OpenAI.
Richard CampbellHOST
And put them over onto Azure and maybe have a relationship.

EliHOST
Google Plus died.

Stadia died.
EliHOST
Like we've just seen all of this technology get washed out over the years and it's just a normal phase, right? The company invested tremendous, the companies or investors or whatever put in a tremendous amount of money, right? For whatever reason, they don't like what they're seeing.
Richard CampbellHOST
