This is really troubling to me. I feel like all these companies are really hamstrung by the fact that they don't have enough access to our phone's features. There's no way to build a Siri competitor if you're not Apple or Google, the APIs to send and read texts, make calls, control music apps etc just don't exist. Chat GPT integrated with your phone's operating system is a lot more useful than pure Chat GPT. I wouldn't be surprised if Open AI gets dethroned by Apple and Google because of that fact alone. It doesn't matter how good your model is if you're not allowed to use it due to anticompetitive practices. If anything deserves antitrust scrutiny, it's the locking down of private APIs, not some petty disputes about App Store fees.

This is why we need change to open it up. We can’t allow a platform to just forever swallow the next layer of tech up forever and ever

100% agree with this. there are ways to jump into apples walled garden though. in a way that they wouldn't be able to stop or patch without fundamentally changing their Eco-system approach. But 100% everyone should be able to build and swap the agent on their device. but it's not your device. its apples. they let you use it. Same with YouTube and our data. it's not really ours. try get your YouTube watch data. it will take 2 weeks by then its 2 weeks old. you can do nothing with that data. much bigger conversations needed that are not happening.
