@navi@social.vlhl.dev the tech industry's power is all soft power. they'll let everyone use ai products for free. using those products will be required to stay competitive, in every corner of the economy. then they can charge whatever they want. and they'll be too big to fail. even if that's not the exact story, they're clearly telling investors *some* story about soft power (since profitability isn't the story), and investors are responding a billion dollars at a time
