Implications of this are huge, imho this is US plan to extent the dollar hegemony forever...
(Musk is CIA from the getgo he is just putting on a fake show, so read beyond the headlines)
Overnight half the world will be using US based openai AI.... every apple device and iphone will have the latest chatgpt (as API) baked into the iOS....
Each and every one of these devices will be spying for Uncle Sam, and worst yet, this one move will ensure as cloud intelligence gets baked into every layer of every product and every service, that the world will be beholden to US AI services and this AI ecosystem will be gate kept on condition of using US dollar....
First gold, then oil, now AI is the final frontier of USD extension.....
With Apple and Nvidia as hardware, Google Play and Andriod, and Azure and OpenAI as the cloud and intelligence layer, this is the US plan to turn the tide around and make good on its PNAC plan that it enacted at the turn the century circa 2001
The anti Huawei campaign, the TSMC thing and EUV ban, its all come down to this moment. I feel like US is going all in and even jumping the shark on AI because its America's last real hope and best objective bet at beating China in the great power competition
Just like with Nvidia GPU once gamers jumped to DLSS and game devs baked that into their games, there was no going back and AMD cards never held a chance, the DLSS API held everyone captive... likewise US is attempting in one fell swoop to do the same but with openai and azure as the AI and cloud layer, getting the rest of the world onto its platform so it can start collecting usury tax yet once again, all spearheaded by the move of Apple baking in openai to its iOS....
Perhaps China's best bet is to rug pull while it still can and do AR sooner rather than later, maybe before end of 2024
