How Bill Gates wrote the playbook for AI

SMRTR summary

Bill Gates turns 70 having reshaped not only global health through his $100 billion in philanthropy, but also Silicon Valley's competitive playbook from his Microsoft days. OpenAI now follows Gates' 1990s strategy of capturing markets first and dealing with consequences later, training AI models on internet content without permission then retreating when challenged. OpenAI's new Atlas browser mirrors Microsoft's Internet Explorer tactics, aiming to control how users experience the web through AI summaries rather than direct website visits.
