This is something I've suspected from the early days of the AI boom. If this stuff was as good as they claim, it would be a closely guarded industrial secret. The fact they're so eager to get us to use it tells me it's primary value isn't what it can do, but what it can be sold for. Or, as Cory says, "Go Meta!".

If you think about it, this is coming from a group of people who famously fetishize disruption. The fact that they aren't using their own #AI to disrupt & take over the sectors they are so keen to sell their product to is a huge red flag.

@pluralistic Why aren't #AI companies competing directly with their customers? (13 Jul 2026)
