Unless anti-trust law changes, Google will just buy ChatGPT and Stability to reduce competition and form a new monopoly.
???
You know Microsoft already owns chat gpt right?
Well that's just straight up not true.
OpenAI owns ChatGPT. Microsoft is a partner, but not an owner.
49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don't kid yourself.
Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.
It's a distinction only legally.
At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.
They own a minority stake in the company
True, but that minority stake is 49%
Google will just buy 51% then, duh /s
