Good thing about LLMs is that they can't put the genie back in the bottle, and long after OpenAI and Anthropic bite the dust (not wishing that but just saying given their trajectories), there will continue to be people, engineers and startups working on open source LLMs.
My hope is that we're able to somehow repurpose all of the GPU chiplets currently sitting in warehouses and in massive datacenters for broader consumer, academic, educational and non-profit consumption. It will create such great value and ripple effect creating and spreading hardware + computing literacy far and wide. Ugh, hope that happens.
I don't know what the situation is on Microsoft Windows, but these requests that are being asked are mostly already applied on iOS:
We call on Microsoft to respect its users and implement the following changes immediately and on a worldwide basis:
-Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers.
-End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system level default).
-Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs).
-Open all web links in users’ selected system-level browser of choice.
-Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers.
-Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge.
-Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block usage of third-party browsers
Yup has been like that for a while. Mobile-first design has been a thing for forever now and at work we often times doubt that its still worth it to even have a non mobile design.
Apple has been required by the DMA to accept non-webkit browsers in the EU for 2 years now. But in practice no one has built one. There are some claims about malicious compliance on Apple's part (what else is new), but it seems equally likely to me that no one wants to maintain 2 rendering engines for the same app (1 for EU and 1 for the rest of the world).

Extremely commendable.
