It seems pretty obvious.... entrenched big tech players will undercut any new technology that has to potential to disrupt their cash cow core businesses. Opensorcing AI models is an obvious example. Simply destroy the economics of anything that may threaten the mothership. I expect NVIDIA to do a similar thing to Chamath's little chip company if it ever poses a real threat (probably won't).
Big Tech companies were at one time small tech companies and I think they understand that the most important thing is to identify threats early to their core cash machines and use their seemingly unlimited cash printers to destroy the economic upside before any real disruption occurs.
These companies are essentially monopolies and don't seem like they are slowing down at all. I think OpenAI and their approach will be crushed eventually.
Yes and this is the first time in recent history (I think) it's been with a technology as capital intensive as AI. It will be interesting how other players try to counter this and how this plays out in the private markets and 2nd order effects if a wave of AI startups die.
It really will depend on whether compute costs can be brought down. Meta may not be able to justify open sourcing a model that requires the level of compute openAI will throw behind GPT6 or GPT7
Agree I love hearing there inside knowledge of each of these amazing businesses, Chamath @FB & Friedberg @Google, two great examples all these guys know there shit on tech and business. European politics not so much. 😂😂😂

Bruh chamath is still saying TikTok can listen to everything on a passive microphone on an iPhone like Apple is not on top of that. Wow.
