I'm not going to be able to communicate this very eloquently. There's some kind of ideological battle going on in the AI exec world. I think there's a dwindling cadre of people that know they are letting what would have been a game-changing tech, and letting govt and nanny-time mentality ruin it. Nobody has any real balls or clout to stand up against the multi-pronged assault of govt interference, University/Think-Tank hand-wringing over political wrongthink, puritans clamoring for NSFW post-response filtering/flagging, and countless MBA bros trying to jump-in/jump-out to min/max their stock options, guessing when these companies IPO one after another.

All of that makes for a very chaotic dev environment. There's a lot of corporate colluding going on as well (because they are all owned be the same 6-10 oligarchs), so they do not have to actually compete (which would result in a better outcome) they would rather carve out their own fiefdoms and rule over that, like the OS software giants, ISPs and mobile players learned to.

The actual creatives, smart workers, and real talent are going to be jumping ship as these AI start-ups get more corporatized and filled with product managers / monetization experts, over actual designers and developers.
