We need a new acronym

Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, MSFT…

GNOM…oh wait no

The strategy that I’ve heard said out loud now by all the major technology companies is “we’re all doing it (AI) together”

In my view this was more or less the political result of the White House summit

So I think we’re seeing what is basically going to be a giant amorphous set of collaborations such that nobody gets taken down, and the whole market doesn’t collapse

If Alphabet, OAI, MSFT, AMZ…etc all agree to be interoperable then they will be acting more or less as a single body in tension.

Whether that’s good or not is a question of your worldview but I think that’s the strategy

Add Anthropic and you get MANGO. MSFT, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Google, OpenAI.

Giant companies working together isn’t an AI-age phenomenon. Go back 10, 20, 30 years and you’ll see that despite the public perception of competitiveness all the largest tech companies (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Amazon) buy/sell to each other, sign partnerships and have tight economic interdependencies.

This is like that SNL skit with Tim Meadows where Will Ferrell has the F on his shirt on the kids TV show and keeps getting in the inappropriate order

Add in Meta (Muse app is a winner)
