I don’t like or trust Sam Altman, but I do find it disappointing that the megacorps like Google have enough capital and access to customers to just copy their products and win. It feels like our society is broken if there isn’t a way for the smaller companies to win.

That is not quite true. Google did much of the research OpenAI used to build ChatGPT. It is just that OpenAI came up with the first popular mainstream AI tool.

Just look what Google does with its Tensor Processing Units ... they are developing AI chips for a decade now!

Funnily enough, paying attention is all people need to do either.

Agreed with the sentiment, but calling OpenAI a "smaller company" after it's just been infused with multiple hundreds of billions, is a bit of a stretch
