In practice, large-scale purchases of GPUs and memory, buying up the best AI labs, and poaching top researchers are a powerful tool for eliminating competitors, especially small and medium-sized players.
In part, this destruction of competitors is not direct, but through economic and technological strangulation. OpenAI and Microsoft do not have to want to harm others - it is enough for them to maximize their progress, and the market itself will exclude the weak. The goal is that the future of AI is determined by 2-3 corporations, not a community of scientists, startups and public organizations.

The main threat is not from AI as a technology, but from the one who owns it.

Giants have a lot of information that allows you to quickly identify new competitors. Google collects data on how internet users spend time and money using the Chrome browser, email, the Android operating system, the app store, cloud services, and more. Amazon can collect a lot of data from its e-commerce platform and cloud business. Facebook can see what apps people are using and where they are traveling online.
