I guess that's because all of these acquisitions are more potential- or future-based. Especially now since the talent seems to be scarce this probably makes sense.

For many the acquisition was the objective more so than a viable product. When startups listen to the idea that only BigTech has the data muscle to train effective DNNs maybe too many believe it.

That's actually how the startup world works in general. If your product doesn't fly but still you created value, someone may buy you.

True. Customers don’t care for AI first. That is why most startups in this phase will also struggle because they dont put customers first.

Great example Matt - Our view: great AI solutions take deep vertical expertise merged tightly with an excellent AI team. A veneer won't do.
