I feel like AI tech just reverse scales and reverse flywheels, unlike the tech giant walls and moats now, and I think that is wonderful. OpenAI has really never made sense from a financial standpoint and that is healthier for humans. There’s no network effect because there’s no social aspect to AI chatbots. I can hop on DeepSeek from Google Gemini or OpenAI at ease because I don’t have to have friends there and/or convince them to move. AI is going to be a race to the bottom that keeps prices low to zero. In fact I don’t know how they are going to monetize it at all.
