Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation.

xAI will take immediate legal action.

Not sure I'm a fan of the app stores: Google and Apple are basically gatekeepers...

I would love for Elon to start a cell service and make a phone with a proprietary OS.

Yep, we have some "monopoly" type situations occurring making it difficult for competitors..

He can do this with the starlink network ?

He’s already done some of the legwork and R&D with TMobile. I tested the Beta version. Now TMobile offers TSatellite (by Starlink) as a $5 add on- soon to be $10.

Apple explicitly so. The "walled garden" approach was pushed in the name of security and reliability. The added revenue (for Apple) are a happy side effect.

A duopoly in this case. In any event, I avoid apps as they have added tracking in most cases, and go to the website. I use perplexity, but may start using grok more.
