Call me a capitalist, but I trust several of them competing with each other under the enforcement of laws that impose consequences on them if they produce and distribute content that violates said laws.


Wait but who codifies the ethics in that setup? Wouldn’t it still be, at best, an agreement among the big players?


They seem to be suggesting the market would alongside government regulation to fill any gaps (like the cartels that you seem to be suggesting).


This is what I'm starting to love about this ecosystem. There's one dominant player right now but by no means are they guaranteed that dominance.

The big-tech oligarchs are playing catch-up. Some of them, like Meta with Llama, are breaking their own rules to do it by releasing open source versions of at least some of their tools. Others like Mistral go purely for the open source play and might achieve a regional dominance that doesn't exist with most big web technologies these days. And all this is just a superficial glance at the market.

Honestly I think capitalism has screwed up more than it has helped around the world but this free-for-all is going to make great products and great history.


so regulation then?
