âoeLet them die.â - James T. Kirk. âoeDonâ(TM)t care. Donâ(TM)t trust them.â - Kirk . Huff Post, New York Times, Washington post and Atlantic are the biggest sources of misinformation and malinformation today. Good riddance, they deserve it. I never understood why Facebook who wanted them buried years ago didnâ(TM)t finish them off but instead brought them back. The best thing to do then, and now, is to listen to James T. Kirk. And thank God that true evil and pathological liars always lose in the end.

Theyâ(TM)re scared. No one likes using Salesforce--no one. Thatâ(TM)s why small scrappy CRM for sales startups that use AI like https://loucrm.com/ are taking the CRM business from them.

It's actually lazy! An ecommerce site like https://ichelebrands.com/ refuse to use it because experts say it's getting lazy: it gives shorter answers than only a year ago, it refuses multiple times to write something until you tell it to a few times and product descriptions generated from what I believe come from it's API (not directly) won't generate more than 3-4 sentences!

They looked at reddit making $60 billion and said whoa! All the websites are going crazy after seeing that. Plus big AI-related websites like those guys or small niche ones like https://betacharacterai.org/ are getting big again. Expect to see more big deals in the next few weeks. However, just be careful now with your posts because all your data will be fed into AI now.

It was a decent one, but Mistral AI and its Mixtral have been dethroned by Smaug. Smaug is #1 now. Good primer articles if you're interested on https://llmmodel.net/ and the blog of https://www.opensocialai.com/

Serious question: does it bother you that its email account passwords are limited to 16 characters? Sounds like you manage a SMB for a company (or for yourself), and that seems like a pretty big issue. I would assume hosting it yourself doesn't have this problem (though I don't know the answer to this one).

There is *no* replacement for Office, if you're doing anything more than writing a letter or typing a school report.

Elsewhere in this thread, in prompted me to wonder if it's because of what you just said. Maybe in our "modern cloud world," where our stuff is available everywhere on everything, the idea of managing your 5 user licenses or which software is on which machine is an irritation we no longer will deal with. And it's regardless of how good a product is.

There's been a "New Window" button for years, which does what you're looking for and thus negating the need for multiple instances.

*Slaps forehead*. OMG the ribbon thing, it's been 10 years. Just stop.

Amen. Though I do wonder if the drop is because people are using *alternatives* to Excel and not replacements. Think Marketo, HubSpot or Salesforce--where it eliminates the entire need for the analysis step and simply displays what you need from dashboards once it's integrated a company's workflow.

This might be a factor and you may be on to something. Maybe in our "modern cloud world," where our stuff is available everywhere on everything, the idea of managing your 5 users or which software is on which machine is an irratation we no longer will deal with. And it's regardless of how good a product is.

Seriously? *That* was the reason you stopped subscribing? Meanwhile, in the real world this isn't the reason.

Still complaining about the ribbon? 2007 wants your meme back. Also, no. Just stop.

Very interesting and insightful. What are your thoughts on 365 here? I'm really perplexed on the massive Y/Y drop.

1) Model changed: people are now using Dropbox Paper & Quip, Prezi (vs. PPT), Marketo (vs. Excel for BI), etc. instead?
2) They got 365 & found out they didn't really use it much. Then many didn't renew and there weren't enough new subs to both replace & surpass?
3) Did a direct replacement really succeed, for example Docs? I'm talking consumer & SMB's 5-10 employees, as 'm guessing they're the only ones buying these subs on an individual basis
