Corporations have no Moat on large language models. Open source wins again.

Google, the tech giant and search engine powerhouse, has recently made a surprising admission.

In a world where businesses fight tooth and nail to establish a competitive advantage, Google has conceded that it has no strategic “moat.” For those that did not read Michael’s porter strategy book,, in this context, a moat is a metaphorical barrier that protects a company from competitors.

So, what does this mean for Google? Well, it means that the company is vulnerable to competition from new players, and it may struggle to maintain its dominant market position if new technologies or business models emerge. But fear not, dear readers, for Google is not one to rest on its laurels.

In the past, Google has relied on innovation to maintain its lead, but it may need to pursue more aggressive tactics in the future. Perhaps it’s time for Google to don a suit of armor and wield a sword? No, that might be too aggressive. Maybe it’s time for Google to unleash a barrage of search algorithms, ad campaigns, and autonomous vehicles. Yes, that’s more like it.

One strategy that Google could pursue is to acquire companies that have developed new technologies or business models that threaten its position. Google could be like a knight on a quest, seeking out and vanquishing any threats to its dominance. But watch out, Google, because regulatory hurdles may await you if you try to acquire companies that are seen as potential competitors.

Another strategy that Google could pursue is to invest heavily in research and development to develop new technologies and business models. It’s time to get those wizard hats on, Google scientists! Who knows, maybe the next big thing in tech will come from the minds of Google’s R&D team.

Ultimately, Google’s admission that it has no moat is a sign that the company recognizes the need to be proactive in the face of potential competition.

It’s time for Google to step up and show the world what it’s made of. So, let’s raise a toast to Google, the tech giant without a moat, and wish them luck on their quest for continued dominance.
