How does ‘cutting edge’ technology suddenly get implemented by other parties soon after new technology is unveiled…for example. chatgpt came out as an amazing new technology that was like nothing we ever saw, and then right after, we hear that other parties are coming up with their own version of chatgpt…If the technology was so secret, then how come everyone else just started coming up with their own version so soon?

Those technologies are never « new », because R&D are always working on it. They’re just « ready » at a certain point in time. Also, even if everybody has their own product ready, it may be a good idea to let a competitor take the risk first, see how the public react and then launch your own product taking into account the feedback. If you haven’t noticed, exactly the same thing happened with multi-blades razors. Once the first 2-blades came out, every-body had their own 2-blades ready. Then 3-blades, 4…(are we at 5 now?). You may think « surely, 4 blades is out-of-the-box thinking », but I guarantee you these people have been experimenting with 3-10 blades from the moment 2 blades became popular, and they’re just waiting for the market to be ready.
