  1. Portrait of Onur Solmaz

    For those who may not remember, Bill Gates and Microsoft in the 90s ran a disinformation campaign against GNU/Linux fearing that would disrupt their monopoly over the PC and server market, that Linux is not safe, that you would invite hackers into your PC End result? Linux dominates the server market, and now even slowly the gamer market. It is much more secure than the virus-laden Windows, thanks to being open source You are seeing the same thing at play here. An incumbent fearing something that they would not be able to control, that would steal market share from his future plans for a digital assistant, that would commoditize their product and eat into its margins All big labs and big pockets are in for a surprise, because the internet and AI are not things for one company to control They of course know this, yet because of incentives they will not yield without a fight. And we know that they know. Ad infinitum
