I'm not sure I follow. But even accepting your premise - I'm not sure how it will favour giant companies over anyone else. The models are already in the wild and anyone can use them. In some ways - large companies are less likely to do anything that might open them up to legal risks or PR downsides.
Maybe this is more of a Napster moment than it is a big tech powergrab?

- andybak 3y agoMy point was that the models exist, people are fine tuning them and/or releasing open clones. There are models of comparable power to the state of the art without any controlling interest from a big tech company. The Google memo covered this in detail and it was what makes me want to question the "AI is owned by big tech" angle.
