Yes, that was my thought as well. It's a pretty subjective statement, but Alphabet and its subsidiaries are pretty clearly on top and there are not too many obvious competitors for the silver. OpenAI is quite small and narrow in focus. I have not heard anything from Baidu in a long time and Tesla also has a very narrow focus and does not contribute much to the research or tooling environments. Facebook is extremely active across a range of AI applications, publishes papers, creates tooling and releases products that millions pay for.

Funny I would also not count Facebook and found it really weird when they announced the DC for meta.

With Google and ml I connect so much positive and life-changing like: health care, weather, language model, deepmind ... There research blog and papers are great.

And then Facebook.

Yeah what is Facebook doing with ml? Optimizing for the next bullshit to make our society worse?

So you admit bias against Facebook, and based on your negative feelings about it, have decided their large amount of ml work doesn't count?

Nope. I actually don't hear anything relevant from them.

Non if there things are popping up anywhere.

Do they actually do anything which helps people instead of making them more victims of fb?
