Google has the data and the TPUs and the massive cash to advance.
Microsoft has GitHub - the world’s biggest pile of code training data, plus infinite cash.
OpenAI has …… none of these advantages.

And Google and Microsoft have huge distribution advantages that OpenAI doesn’t. Google and Microsoft can add AI to their operating systems, browsers, and office apps that users are already using. OpenAI just has a website and a niche browser. To Google and Microsoft, AI is a feature, not a product.
this is the argument i continue to have with people. first mover isnt always an advantage - i think openai will be sold or pennies on these dollars someday (next 5 years after they run out of funding).
Google has data, TPUs, and a shitload of cash to burn
>first mover isnt always an advantage
but in this case it is, ChatGPT name is really, really strong, it's like "just google it" instead of "just search the web"
