MODERATORS
Clarification, google (and amazon) are giving anthropic acces to some of their chips (compute).
This mirrors Microsofts funding in openai, which was mostly just azure credit.
Same thing with ai companies investing with free generation tokens.
These companies aren’t providing money just sharing some resources that they would otherwise exploit for profit.
They are giving each other monopoly money blow jobs and the result is headlines and securing coordinated market domination.
