Unpopular opinion here but I don't see any benefit in breaking up goliaths like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, OpenAI.

OpenAI (optically) came out of nowhere and took over everything in a few years. A future company also could. We should punish violation of regulations and the law when it occurs. We don't need to be interfering just because we feel a company is too good at being a company.

If OpenAI violated anything with the recent non-profit stuff, sue or charge them.

You don’t see a single benefit? You think monopoly power is worthwhile?

As long as it's not a monopoly that is effectively impossible to beat: yes, I do.

I broadly consider myself left-wing but I think the libertarians are kind of right on that point.
