What a time we live in when 20 billion is considered poor... I would consider companies in sub million range to be poor and that is charitable already...
The big one believes themselves ready to rival "government power"
Btw, OpenAI words, not mine https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49232778
The time we live in is a bubble. Cursor, a company that developed a fork of VSCode that uses AI models they don't own on hardware they don't own got bought for $60B, compare with JetBrains, a company that actually makes some of the best if not the best IDEs in several languages is "only" worth $7B.
$20B is certainly not poor, but in the world of AI and overinflated valuations, it almost is.
