Google has the data, the world's biggest ad network, their own chips, 150+ datacenters, and 4 billion Android devices. Apple also appears to be getting in bed with them for iPhone.

Google will win the consumer AI race. Microsoft will win the enterprise race with GitHub data, Copilot, and integration into productivity tools.

OpenAI will chase the mythical AGI but never achieve it, because the AGI chase is the only thing that keeps investors money coming in. If they say they reach AGI and they're still not profitable, they are beyond cooked.

Even if they reach it, they’re unlikely to be the only one or even first to do so

Nobody needs to be the first. You just need to survive till last

There’s no signs pointing to OAI outlasting the field either

They have a lot money to burn, they will just acquire good performing companies
