Building a competitive search engine or AI model requires VC investment.
It's simply too expensive to do otherwise.
VC investment requires a vibrant startup ecosystem, well crafted regulations and a risk-tolerant culture.

Yandex, Baidu, and many other lesser-known local-only search engines exist. There's also nothing stopping an already existing technology company from entering search. The statement is incorrect. Meanwhile common sense tells us that obviously there's going to be investment into domestic search engines if Google voluntarily throws in the towel. Europe is a huge place and there's a lot of money to be made, even if it's merely with context-based advertising and no individual tracking. > Building a competitive [..] AI model requires VC investment [..] and a risk-tolerant culture. Training a large model anyways, since nobody has really figured out how to recoup that investment yet. Why are you trying to derail this from talking about search though?
- GreenWatermelon 2y agolol. Kagi exists and kicks the ever-loving shit of the garbage bin that is google search. So no, ot doesn't require VC cash to build something useful for people.
