> It’s just Meta
And Google, then after a while Microsoft and Apple too.
Meta fired the starting gun, but everyone else sheepishly had to admit that they had no moat either and coughed up their models for free to appear at "parity" with a company as reprehensible as Meta. After all, you can't pretend to be morally superior in a market where your competitor has the curtain pulled all the way back. OpenAI's stock practically correlated to Meta's press releases after a certain point.
You have to admit Meta played their cards right. Microsoft and Apple would have ruined the product design of AI a-la Cortana and Siri, and Google was giving their AI away since the Deepmind days. If any of their competitors were ahead of them then they entirely failed to produce a competitive example. Or a superior business model, for that matter.
