Re:Google agrees to invest up to $2B in OpenAI rival Anthropic by mattnewton on Saturday October 28, 2023 @02:26PM (#38052194)
I don’t see the risk at all. Google has a LLM product with much more reach and better monetization than anthropic already. If you think the DOJ is going to break up google or otherwise destroy their market share in search that’s another story altogether, but if they keep it they’ll be well positioned to make a lot of money buying anthropic and getting their models onto their infrastructure and in their channels. It’d be like buying YouTube, which had absolutely nothing to do with needing their video hosting infrastructure but because they were winning market share with their product decisions.
