The rules of winner-takes-all seem to have changed this time

In the old internet era, everything was about network effects and winner-takes-all. If you built a social platform and had the most users, the second place player basically had no room to survive.

But the AI era seems different. First, its network effects are not as strong. Second, the giants have also become smarter. People used to talk about the innovator’s dilemma: big companies are hard to turn around and would be disrupted by small companies. Now, as soon as big companies see a new technology, they become more afraid than anyone, rush to pour in money and people, and disrupt themselves.

So the landscape this time is quite interesting. On one hand, the giants are using AI to become stronger and more entrenched. On the other hand, AI also gives countless small players, even individuals, opportunities to disrupt. This is no longer a simple black-and-white disruption story. It is a mixed situation that is both sustaining and disruptive at the same time.
