That's if they are not ambitious. Might also be trying to become the new Google, or at least put the O in MANFANGO.

Jesus, can we find a phrase like "tech giants", rather than changing the acronym according to the stock market?

Re: What OpenAI really wants
#9> The air crackles with an almost Beatlemaniac energy as the star and his entourage tumble into a waiting Mercedes van. They’ve just ducked out of one event and are headed to another, then another, where a frenzied mob awaits. As they careen through the streets of London—the short hop from Holborn to Bloomsbury—it’s as if they’re surfing one of civilization’s before-and-after moments. The history-making force personified inside this car has captured the attention of the world. Everyone wants a piece of it, from the students who’ve waited in line to the prime minister.
A lot of words for saying absolutely nothing regarding the topic. And the article goes on like this. Thanks for nothing.
