Google Bard waitlist
> Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!Sigh. Google never learns.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.It's the same playbook with every US-only launch:1. get everybody hyped up2. make it accessible to only a minor subset of people but advertise it as a "launch" or "open beta" or whatever3. 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.4. Wait till competitors have launched global-from-the-start alternatives5. Open up the service globally6. ...7. Shut down the service because there's no uptake
