OpenAI, Grok, Gemini, Anthropic are all cut of same cloth no? Closed AI to serve their corporate shareholders and respective governments. There is no deeper altruistic move here. It's capitalism at it's best or worse, depending on

China has a huuuuge lead on EV supply chain. Tesla went full Nazi and alienated their base. I can see Ford and GM trucks still maintaining their core base, but Tesla doesn’t have an edge. They seem to be stuck 5 years ago.

Changing Brand blah blah blah. Seeems they hired a Brand executive and they want to work their magic but the message is tone deaf. SO’s target market is developers looking for help with their coding problems. LLMs are a superior interface.

I guess let’s see how many millions Tim Cook will give Trump so Supreme Court can make a different ruling. This is worth Billions to Apple. Perhaps more when the stock tanks due to the ruling.
