A small local business's profile account got marketing mail from Google encouraging the business to sign up to try Bard. I've never seen Google mass mail to business profiles outside of the time they tried to get everyone to join their astroturfed anti-regulation group to complain about antitrust law.

It's so shockingly rare for them to use mass mail to advertise a new product, especially one that's in such an early stage, that it seems incredibly desperate to sell the narrative "We can AI too".

I received this email and figured hey, having an account for 15 years is finally paying off. But they just stuck me on a waitlist.

I didn't even have a microsoft account when I tried to sign up for bing, and was accepted off the waitlist right away. So??? Good job google.
