I think the bigger issue is the ever increasing capital requirements, which may cause even the closed weight companies to fall away from the frontier, e.g. Google & Meta are barely hanging on. For Google it feels a bit existential to remain at the frontier, but even then they're barely there.
I hope that we find ways of continuing to improve these models besides continuing to exponentially increase capex spend until all but one of your competitors falls away.

- disgruntledphd2 4mo agoAt times of rapid change, having a working business model can be a disadvantage. For instance, Facebook were able to optimize their core ads product for mobile, in a way that was much more difficult for Google.
- Eridrus 4mo agoI have no idea what's going wrong inside Google/Meta, they certainly have capital. But when you need this much cash, not many people are going to be able to have a shot on goal. It would not surprise me if Meta threw in the towel. Microsoft and Apple aren't even trying.
