Google Bard waitlist
> Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!<p>Sigh. Google never learns.<p>By the time they add support for using this in my country, there's no reason for me to use it anymore as competitors have already swept in.<p>It's the same playbook with every US-only launch:<p>1. get everybody hyped up<p>2. make it accessible to only a minor subset of people but advertise it as a "launch" or "open beta" or whatever<p>3. tell the rest of the world that "lol, by "avialable" we mean US-only" or "Open means "open for people with US IP addresses only"" etc.<p>4. Wait till competitors have launched global-from-the-start alternatives<p>5. Open up the service globally<p>6. ...<p>7. Shut down the service because there's no uptake
 (surprised_pikachu.jpg)<p>Rinse and repeat.<p>Self inflicted wounds and all that..
