I just don't get this. Google has SO MANY THINGS that are US only. While most other companies release things to everyone (like OpenAI).

How does Google expect to compete with OpenAI globally if they keep limitting the rest of the world?

Google is an established business, OpenAI is desperately burning money trying to come up with a business plan. Exports controls and compliance probably isn't going to be today's problem for them, ever.

They don't, the Gemini crap is dead in the water and only people who care about it are hackernews people or some weirdos. For normies ChatGPT equals AI and that's that, they already won by the brand alone.

When normies hear Gemini, they cringe and get that icky feeling.

It didn't help that when Gemini came out it was giving you black founding fathers and Asian nazis.

My dad uses Gemini because it's the default thingy on his android phone - I asked him if he used ChatGPT and he said yes and navigated to Gemini. Most people really don't care that much I think.

What's not to get? Talk to your political representatives about reining in the EDPB if you want access to cutting edge features.

Or if you are not in the EU, spend more money I guess and become an attractive market.

"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take.

It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.

You think normies even know what Gemini is LMAO. No one except some hackernews users and weirdos know it.

Maybe those features are illegal in every other country.

Its not by choice
