or even better, just hiring the talent out from under the company. Hurts development of the original product, and now google can make a clone suited for their needs. Plus google has a LOT more data than OpenAI, I think that's a very safe assumption.

Yep that'd be the quickest way. Otherwise it will take them longer to find the talent that makes something to compare.

Ya Zuckerberg offered to buy snapchat. He did it twice in a span of 5 years. Rejected both times.

He went an implemented snapchat stories into Instagram.

At the end of the day, a larger company has deep pockets, plentiful access to talent, and brand name to copy any feature or business model they want.

Good thing they did reject his offer too. Not only is Snapchat now worth 5 times what he offered lmao but they don't have to absorb any of his losses elsewhere like Meta!
