“Tech companies are monopolies”, proceeds to describe how tech companies compete with each other.
A market with only two players isn't much of a market.
Or nowadays, any number of players.
Now that market data is made available by brokers and decisions can be colluded based on such data.
TBF on the LLM side we currently have 4 big players, and a bunch of smaller ones. Plus a healthy bunch of open models, lagging ~1y behind SotA. The best thing for us consumers is that it stays this way. Any of them winning would be bad in general.
