one word.
antitrust.
Google already made transformers, other AI research, and other products but famously never commercialised it, plus they are already seen in a bad light.
A competitor must emerge e.g. OpenAI in order for Google to compete and argue they aren't a monopoly otherwise they would be target to get broken up first.
I believe Google were more than capable of making a GPT-3, most forget Google already had DeepMind but Google AI, Google Brain and DeepMind were separate (until they merged last year, unsurprisingly)
So they were most likely both complacent and most of all didn't want to spark an investigation for a break up of Google / Alphabets businesses.

- colesantiago 3y agoThrough only one person? Nope, what is said in there isn't enough and only shows through an implementation level of why they failed to do this. We already know Google had multiple research labs and the technical papers and had no direction to pull a GPT-3 off (hence why they merged last year as I said). So it's a moot point about insiders, the tech, etc, it's really more than that.
- jajko 3y agoDays of megacorporations getting broken are over for quite some time it seems. Governments are afraid to kill golden geese, markets react quickly and nobody wants to be seen as the guy who tanked literally everyone's pensions. Or maybe enough bribes at right places, who knows.
