I just think it’s a bit disingenuous to talk about happiest nations and not control for antidepressant consumption, because obviously there’s a deficit of happiness if people are turning to pills.

My feeling is that the happiest people probably live in places that are both prosperous and have a pleasant climate; the little European possessions of the Caribbean are probably a good example.

I am using it a lot now. Even switched my browser to edge dev to have the chat integrated in the browser itself. It’s honestly very useful for a lot of the tasks I am doing and more than just a search engine. I can see the share change significantly by the end of the year if this keeps going

In terms of actual data, both could still hold, a country could simultaneously appear happy and depressed:

You could have the highest mean and a (relatively) high proportion of depression. But this display only shows the mean, not the extremes or the shape of the distribution.

A joke in the industry is that the best job is being in sales for Bing. You rock up to the advertisers or agency office and go "You got x millions to spend on Search and can't put it all efficiently into Google and you can't spend it anywhere else. Thanks for the money, see you next year."

Considering how bananas Google is with sponsored spots and prioritizing retailer sites above everything else, Bing is stumbling into a gold mine in the coming years. At the moment, Google is becoming borderline unusable for random searches. The pay to win business model is showing through, and it's turning the tool into garbage. Bing is going to start gaining a whole lot of market share soon.
