Apple has been dragging their heels on AI from the start. They got sued by shareholders for not having enough AI in their products fast enough. Makes me wonder if they smelled the shit from the start and have been half-assing it on purpose.
Microsoft has been the opposite. If both of them shrug and say “I guess we’ll just have slightly better digital assistants”, the market might wake up and go “oh, shit.”
I think OpenAI and Anthropic could get bailed bought by MS/Apple/Google in a fire sale. Grok will just suck it or get propped up by Trump.
This is a pretty uninformed take, and maybe entirely influenced by the intentional marketing/PR image they crafted, but I get the impression that Anthropocene was more of a “building a practical tool with this technology, and iterating on that practicality” and less “this will be digital god” sort of company. Maybe ther value wouldn’t crater as much since they’ve been selling as a reasonably practical corporate tool than a magical profit box?
