You would have an anti-trust problem if somebody went out and bought all of the promising AI startups.
So at what point in their buying spree do you cut them off? Do you wait until they've bought 90% of AI startups? 50%? Does it matter if there are 4 AI startups or 40?
- guhidalg 3y agoIt starts to matter when the broad public is adversely affected by the lack of AI diversity. I don’t think we’re there yet, let them buy.
- DANmode 3y agoFrom my perspective, the only name and products people (who are not here) know are ChatGPT/OpenAI API based. Do you have a different experience?
- nerdponx 3y agoThe problem here is that, if you can see the adverse effects on the public, you're too late. So you need to anticipate them. That's not an easy thing to do.

Copyright and patents are examples of gov't granted monopolies. [0] Fully conceding the fact that MS is a convicted monopolist and has to play by different rules than everyone else.
