So as to compose documents and emails? Soon we won't even write emails? Or TPS reports?

That would be wonderful. So how many gigs will I be able to automate using these new AIs?

iGoogle would be perfect as my Chrome homepage but no, better work on something useless while fuckin up basic functionality across Google products.

This is really depressing. It never lived up to its promise, but back in the day, it sounded like a great idea.

As someone whose livelihood depends on Youtube and Blogger, I am getting more and more nervous...

YouTube won’t go anywhere.

Blogger, though? I’d starting thinking of a plan b.

Google has groups? Is that like part of Hangouts or something?

Sorry Google Groups has been neglected for years. The problem is that finding alternatives that are also free is not easy - which seems to be the main theme of the article (although they refer to paid options as proprietary)

Slack and Teams both seem to fit the bill here. But the article sidetracks into lease known options that only a programmer might love.

Google Groups is used by Google internally for communication....

It's just not a high priority for development.

I also like how the blog post mentions FluxBB as a FOSS alternative, but FluxBB actually is abandoned for 2 years now.

The reason why these hosted services gain popularity is because hosting your own infrastructure on top of spending your limited free personal time on a project is overloading. There's only so much bandwidth people have.
