AI Valley examines the "innovator's dilemma," where tech giants like Google hesitate to release advanced AI that might cannibalize their lucrative search advertising profits. This "bigness" often slows innovation, leading geniuses like Mustafa Suleyman to leave DeepMind at Google to found independent ventures like Inflection. However, the staggering cost of GPUs and computing power often pulls these startups back into the orbit of trillion-dollar corporations. For example, Suleyman eventually moved Inflection to Microsoft to leverage their near-bottomless cash reserves. This dynamic ensures that only the wealthiest companies with massive reach can truly compete in the expensive race for generative AI supremacy. (5/8)1905 LA
