- hu3 3y agoCould be worse. Could be Apple wallet garden charging 30% of any profit their AI API generated. Jokes aside I wonder why Apple doesn't invest in these prominent AI startups. It's not lack of cash for sure.

- SeanAnderson 3y agoHow come?
- crazygringo 3y agoYou're going to have to give some specific reason why though. Why this would have anything to do with antitrust is not at all obvious to me. Especially when Google has been inventing and acquiring its own generative AI technology that it is competing with.

- fzzzy 3y agoThat's a problem that companies worry about after they have it.
