🔗 Microsoft’s Brazen AI Inflection
What Om does not touch on is the issue of ‘acquisition’.
To this bear (and others), what also seems to have happened is that Microsoft has all but bought the company. but actually didn’t.
Why not just buy it?
Well because then you need permission from the Feds - if not the EU, which takes time and even then might not happen (remember Figma), and certainly in the AI space close scrutiny is happening.
Ok - not that close - but you know what I mean.
Watch this (tech bypassing pesky things like delays and rules and law and .. to accelerate and ‘avoid’ scrutiny) happen more and more in other places.
