CEO of a company that failed to become an AI giant says we can't let the companies that succeeded take their slice of the pie.

Isn’t Microsoft one of the AI giants trying to eat the economy?

  At least from the article, it seems he wants to position Microsoft as someone who provides access to all models including non frontier models in order to democratize access. He sees OpenAI, Anthropic and Google as the AI giants who are trying to dictate the future.

  Why do you think Microsoft is an AI giant? In my books, the AI Giants are: Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
  I wouldn't rate Meta, SpaceX, or Microsoft as AI giants, even though they have AI products.

    Meta at least is an AI giant just from its internal use.
    Even if Alphabet didn't have Gemini, it would also be a giant from its internal use.

    Same.
    But with the callout that SpaceX (via xAI) is trying really hard to be a giant.

  Not really. Microsoft is more of a proprietary software monopolist that has strangled the economy for the past few decades, and they don't want to lose what remains of their lucrative position.

So why did they just hire all the AI2 folks?
