Startup CEO says Google had everything …, yet OpenAI beat them to the LLM Gold Rush, Elon Musk’s ‘one-word’ reply

An online debate over AI race of Silicon Valley reignited recently. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also presented his point of view on the debate with a one-word response. Recently, a US federal judge ruled that Anthropic and AI company did not break any copyright laws while training AI model Claude using books. The judge pointed out that the use of books was a fair step and an AI model does not copy or reproduce books but it learns from them and then generate original content.

Soon after the judgement, an online debate started on X (formerly known as Twitter). A startup CEO Luis Batalha has asserted that Google, despite possessing “everything” needed, was ultimately outmaneuvered by OpenAI in the burgeoning Large Language Model (LLM) “gold rush.”
