The article discusses the intense competition among tech companies to develop advanced AI tools, often incurring substantial losses in pursuit of market dominance. After achieving dominance, companies may alter their AI outputs according to the preferences of their highest bidders, raising ethical concerns about censorship and bias. However, there is a shift as emerging players like DeepSeek are releasing their models for free, allowing users greater access and control over AI tools. This democratization of technology could disrupt the current market dynamics dominated by established corporations.
As everyone is well aware, the world is still going nuts trying to develop more, newer and better AI tools.
Once dominance is reached, expect the enshittification to begin.
A likely way to earn back all that money for developing these LLMs will be by tweaking their outputs to the liking of whoever pays the most.
One of the tricks of an upcoming player to shake up the market, is to undercut the incumbents by releasing their model for free, under a permissive license.
