I feel like history is repeating itself yes, but actually I was thinking more a out Google.

Everyone was saying "oh man - Google had all this tech and they sat on it and just couldn't move forwards, then they blew their lead and OpenAI came a long and smoked them!"... Now it feels like it is OpenAI who are repeating that story, blowing their lead they got with the original ChatGPT while that upstart Google schools them in model development and vertical integration.

Interesting times. Very interesting times. C'mon OpenAI, move the SOTA forward!

At least Netscape's offering was actually continuously open (after 98 at least)
