Meta has to be happy someone else is currently looking as sketchy as they are. Thus the business strategy is moving to limit their power and influence as much as possible while also avoiding any appearance of direct competition, and letting the other guy soak up the bad pr. Amazon gets paid either way, because even if open ai doesn’t use them, where are you going to cloud your api that’s talking with open ai? If open ai looks weakened I think we’ll see everyone else has a service they want you to try. But there’s no use in making much noise about that, especially during an election year. No matter who wins, all the rejected everywhere will blame AI, and who knows what that will look like. So, sit back and wait for the leader of the pack to absorb all the damage.
