I'm a big fan of various AI companies taking different approaches. OpenAI keeping it close to their hearts but have great developer apis. Meta and Mistral going open weights + open code. Anthropic and Claude doing their thing.
Competition is a beautiful thing.
I am half excited and half scared that AGI is our generation's space war.

There was a spat between them a few years ago on Twitter where Musk said Zuckerberg had limited understanding of AI tech, after Zuckerberg called out AI doomerism as stupid.
