They have to find it’s use, they’ve sunk tens of Billions, if not hundreds of billions (collectively) into LLMs. If they don’t find a good used they’ll find an unavoidable use and shove it into our lives, just so their risky investments aren’t a total, immediate loss. Microsoft can force it into the most used OS in the world because it’s a huge endeavour to drop windows. Any LLM without a service or product to use it with will probably look to buy some or lock in deals with companies, or governments, that do. Like if the MAGA US gov sells exclusive LLM service rights to Elon’s Grok so Grok locks in a pig trough of money from tax payers to offset the shitty investment, even if their LLM is useless.
Microsoft is why antitrust is so fucking necessary. Not for healthy ‘competition’ but so we don’t suffer the liabilities of bad investments or grant so much leverage to private interests whose only ambitions is becoming the ruler of the world.
