    I didn’t ask for it, but I’m lowkey happy to have them in this. I imagine, in a few years from now, all the start-ups will have run out of money or been acquired, and as per the usual, only big tech companies remain.

    Traditional search engines will basically be dead, completely swamped with AI-generated spam. And even non-techies will generally depend on generative AIs for information and communication.
    If those are exclusively controlled by big tech, we’ll have tons of censorship (e.g. if you want to export an LLM to China, it has to pretend to not know about the Uyghurs) and just generally no control.

    I don’t expect Mozilla to save the world here, they’re too small for that. But they’re already providing useful tools, raising the entrypoint for independent devs.
