That’s ’embrace, extend, extinguish’ for you. Question is if there is a profitable model to come. The usual economies of scale don’t seem capable of adding up in this case. Even the maniacs on Wall Street are balking.

    That’s not quite my understanding of EEE.

    • Embrace - adopt something that someone else has done
    • Extend - add proprietary extensions on top of the original, quicker than the original owner can
    • Extinguish - Kill the original owner off by moving quicker then either slow down or kill your own support for the product

    What the AI model owners are doing seems to me just to be normal loss-leading with a view to gain market share.

    That’s fair. I think they are trying to utilize EEE to replace search, content creation, and more - everything AI is being shoveled into. But the main goal is just to force utilization through any means necessary and establish a new market & sales model they are unable to define.
