I think people need to think really hard about what those goals are.
Is it to defeat regulation? To destroy their competitors? Retain talent? Sell their non-free-and-better models?
People don’t just hand millions of dollars out on the street corner.
There’s always a catch.
…and the people using llama and falcon, etc. and enjoying how great it is are being blinded by the shiny toys and not really, imo, thinking about what it means, or how they’re playing someone else’s game.
It’s extremely naive.

So in general I couldn't really care less what somebody's ambitions are when they are any meaningful length of time beyond the present.
