OpenAI is having to pull insane amounts of funding to even stay alive.

Google is about to lay waste to everyone.

Google is using their nation state wealth to once again dominate a new sector. Wealth gained from unfair monopolization of search and web and mobile.

Google changed the notion of the URL bar to search. They control every ingress. Now, if you want to access a name brand registered trademark, it flows through Google search. Brands have to pay extortion money to Google to keep others from sniping their rightful name brand.

Google gets even more money because there's a bidding war.

Google pays to put themselves as middle men in front of nearly every web access.

Google doesn't just have a monopoly on this, it's downright unethical and should be tried in court or have laws written to make this illegal.

I have no love for OpenAI, but how do they even compete with the hundreds of billions of dollars this nets?

> Monopolies never last in the tech industry

Google is an invasive species in the ecosystem. They're killing viable competition by engorging themselves and taxing non-productively.

Capitalism should be hard. It should be live or die regardless of size or scale. Google is barely breaking a sweat.
