@pinhman@humanwords.party @cwebber@social.coop That is likely what heavily capitalized billionaires like Musk are hoping for; waiting for smaller AI corporations to get swallowed by bigger ones. He gains their customer base along with the acquisition. Or he could do another TikTok, convince Trump to force a sale to a crony under "national security". The end result being all human knowledge under the control of a handful of oligarchs & metered out predatorially, with end users never sure if AI answers are correct.
