What happens if Anthropic and OpenAI shut down?

Is it different from the status quo prior?

No, the same thing always happens. The community latches onto a new project where all the effort is spent chasing previous gains, then they get bought out, and over time the same pattern appears.

At this point our industry would benefit from public investment in open source in the form of grants rather than relying on corporate benefactors to not rat fuck the commons.
