In the AI era, a company's core competitive advantage isn't about buying the best AI tools—it's about building a self-reinforcing knowledge flywheel where humans and AI continuously feed each other and grow stronger together. And critically, you must keep control in your own hands. Don't let a handful of platforms suck all the value out.
I agree with the concern about value distribution, but "everyone building their own infrastructure" is a false solution—the barriers are real, and it would only widen the gap between large corporations and smaller players. The real balance isn't total autonomy; it's having bargaining power, an exit option, and no lock-in when partnering with platforms.
