Here's a question that's been buzzing across markets: Does artificial intelligence actually disrupt the dominance of Big Tech, or does it just make them even stronger?

It's more than just tech industry gossip—this matters for anyone thinking about where capital flows go next. If AI consolidates power in the hands of existing giants, that's one macro story. If it fragments and creates new winners? That's a completely different market narrative.

Where you stand on this shapes how you think about tech valuations, competition dynamics, and the next cycle of wealth creation in the digital economy.

To be honest, Big Tech has long been prepared to capitalize on the AI boom, and it's not the right time for new players to make a comeback.

As for AI, I just think those big tech companies won't be wiped out at all; they'll only get bigger and fatter. New winners? Dream on, everyone will have to answer to NVIDIA.

Speaking of which, AI is just another tool for big corporations to reap profits. Isn't talking about breaking monopolies just wishful thinking?

As for AI, I bet the new players can overtake in the bend... but honestly, it's most likely that the big companies will swallow them up. --- Stop joking, the giants have already hoarded all the usable resources. Where would new forces have a chance? --- This is the fate of capital... the rich get richer, the poor fall behind. --- Is it possible for both to happen? I mean, big tech is strong but also has to give some of the cake to new players. --- NGL, this is a great question; it really determines how we allocate assets. --- I'm still optimistic about those vertical niche AI startups. Someone has to tap into areas Big Tech can't reach. --- It's a replay of history. When the internet first emerged, everyone asked the same question, and look what happened... Fang companies kept growing fatter. --- Maybe it's safer to copy big tech's stocks... at least you won't lose too much. --- The key is financing ability. If you have money, you have influence; other than that, it's all just empty talk.
