Google gets a lot of information from searches, location, emails, and more, but it doesn't have itself access to a lot of source code. Facebook is similar. Microsoft (via Github) has access to a lot of source code, but doesn't know much about people's preferences (Bing and Edge have a relatively limited market share). ChatGPT and similar can get a lot of information about searches/users questions and preferences and source code (by scraping repositories but also directly getting code from their users). This is already an intellectual property treasure, but when they start aggregating medical records, providing integrations with other stuff (via agents which by definition know what you're doing and probably learn some credentials in the process) and even researching brain-to-computer applications, the idea of a single company having access to all this is honestly... interesting, to say the least.
