The unfolding story of AlphaFold2 is interesting—DeepMind just open sourced all of the code. Many saw AlphaFold2 as a tremendously economically valuable thing that might finally justify all the tremendous investment by Alphabet. Why would they just give it all away? 1/

I agree, but I would say datasets increasingly trumps infrastructure in the moat department. The infrastructure (sw and hw) that DeepMind had wasn't anything the academic team couldn't reproduce. For datasets, the most defensible moats will be data that others can't easily obtain

data that uniquely occurs as a byproduct of doing a particular kind of business, or which is ensnared in regulatory complications probably provides the closest thing to something defensible.
