I’m still… hopeful… that “good enough” models will be abundantly available to be run anywhere as to limit the low water mark for market capture by a few big ones.
The biggest frustration to me is that investment dollars are all tied up in the shovel company and no one is funding the digging.
Instead, we've seen the opposite: all the big scary stuff has been from their own models (in a few notable cases, also demonstrating that they're actually quite irresponsible in their monitoring and security).
"We need to outlaw single-prop planes, they're a risk to the public: only Boeing has the ability to produce planes safely. How do we know single-prop planes are dangerous? Because Boeing planes keep falling out the sky."
You'll find aviation politics is not too far off. But basically all pilots train single engine first abd America invented the plane.
