How glorious it would be if it turned out the Google AI division is incompetent. Microsoft/OpenAI catches them with their pants down, like TikTok caught facebook. These arrogant incumbents puttering around, releasing no code, deep inefficient management structures, diversity and inclusion. How glorious for the forces of capitalism to punish them for their mistakes
