Tech has a cargo cult problem




Tech has a winner takes all problem. All those billions are chasing trillions of valuation. Many will fail, but some will be ruling(metaphorically) the world

Right now the AI business does not looking like a winner takes all situation at all. Everyone is losing money and nobody has any lock-in. Free open source models are only 6-12 months behind the frontier labs. Seems like a tricky business to me with no clear route to metaphorical world domination.

Making stuff for AI companies looks like better business to me!
