Tech things: OpenAI buys Windsurf, Google retains its lead, and where the hell is Apple?

$3 billion seems high to me. Google is on a warpath. And Apple shoots itself in the foot, twice.

    It’s the murican VC MO:

    Why compete when you can buy the competition before it even develops?

      But it is interesting that they are not using their own product to build it……since “you don’t need developers anymore”

        Don’t get high on your supply I guess. Just like Zoom forcing RTO.

          Yeah, that one got me. If I was Zoom, I’d force people to work remotely, to iron out issues in the SW.

        Maybe they’re trying to turn their AI VC money into real money? IDK what windsurf is.
