i am reminded of semiconductor electronics. it used to be you could assemble yourself, but now giant fabs rule the game.
that's confused. Semiconductor manufacturing was always controlled by the same corrupt and despicable 'private'-government mafia. You can still assemble stuff but you have to get the components from govcorp (as always).
same for AI: used to be you could innovate on your own, but now it takes research teams at large organizations with deep pockets.
there's no such thing as 'artficial intelligence' - The term is one of the most stupid examples of brain-dead marketing ever. bottom line : technical garbage was always and still is controlled by the enemy.
