Sam Altman is not a 'ChatGPT founder' and he's the PR man for a research institution, not a business, so he's should be wary of comparing his org. to Google.
Though he's obviously right.
What's interesting is that so few people are in a position to say it out loud.
That says a lot about the power dynamics of the Tech World.
Sam obviously has another 'lazy monopoly' to protect him from the fallout from his PR statements; or more likely they're chosen words and he's now working for the 'other lazy monopoly' saying what Satya does won't say.
Everyone should recognize the fact this language is being used as a welcome shakeup in the system.
When Epic spoke out against Apple they failed to start a revolution and paid a heavy price, though it's likely they did get some balls rolling.
If any of you are younger than 30 it might literally have been since you were a teenager that we had a lot of 'game' in the system.
Things have consolidated in the last decade, it really did used to be much more wild.
I'm not being cynical, negative or even 'harshly Darwinian' when I state that I really hope one of the Big Cos crashes and burns. The system needs to be loosened up. We don't need 'decentralization' but we do need out from under the thumb of the very powerful tech companies.
