Because it seems like this stuff is taught in Management 101 in all of the business schools: once you establish yourself with all this talk about "openness", etc. then the only way to succeed is by creating a walled garden, either through abuse of your monopoly position or by regulatory capture.
Cases in point: OpenAI _and_ Anthropic both pushing for regulation of AI, now that they have a dominant position.
I swear, the moment MBAs get involved, they try the same crap everywhere.
- threeseed 2y agoIt's a common trope to blame MBAs for all the ills in the world. But the reality is that having a moat and how to defend it is a fundamental strategy that every CEO is expected to know. Because it will be one of the first things you get asked from YC, investors etc. And using regulation to lock out competitors definitely did not start with OpenAI and Anthropic.
