Yeah. And the quality of AI will only get worse from here unless we can commoditize open weight models.
If Google and Anthropic and such are able to own access, they will enshittify it horribly. Because they are powerless to do anything but, in the name of profit.
I think it's just as likely that these companies will choose different strategies and go after different markets. Though there are some similarities, Apple didn't do the same thing as Microsoft. And although they do copy features, Android isn't the same as iPhone.
In particular, Google depends a lot more on advertising than Anthropic does, so their incentives are different.
