Has Microsoft Lost the AI Wars? - a 🧵
First mover advantage is overrated.
Anyone working in startupland long enough knows that the first out of the gate is all too frequently an also-ran.
Facebook was not the first social networking company.
Last year it appeared unmistakably clear that Microsoft was going to be cock of the walk in the dawning age of generative artificial intelligence.
A year later it’s clear how wrong that was.
