...why? Products are better when you can control the whole stack.
- amelius 3y agoThat may seem to be an advantage. But because there is only 1 (or a few) companies now controlling the whole stack, you have less choice in the products you can buy. And since the incentives of the vendor may not be aligned with yours, which is increasingly the case if they are a monopoly, then the product is not actually better from the consumer's point of view. Don't like the way OpenAI treats your data, or how you can only run it in the cloud and not on an on-premises server? Or what dataset they used for training? You're out of luck! But if the market were more modular, and lots of small companies could use the same hardware in their products, you'd have something to choose from!
