> everyone believes it’s a winner takes all game

Why would anyone think that, and why do you think everyone thinks that?

[TheOtherHobbes]

Because tech is now a handful of baronial oligopolies, and the AI companies are fighting to be the next generation of same.

And this pattern has repeated itself reliably since the industrial revolution.

Successful ASI would essentially end this process, because after ASI there's nowhere else for humans to go (in tech at least.)

[mlazos]

Everyone always thinks this at least in big tech I’ve never heard a PM or exec say a market is not winner take all. It’s some weird corpo grift lang that nothing is worth doing unless its winner take all.
