So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf.

I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approach. Of course that would require top-tier ML engineers who mostly all are pay-captured by Big Tech.

Downloaded Comet last week and I was wondering why anthropic/openAI didn't have one. It's a no brainer. Google's hegemony is really going to take a hit, wondering if hardware-software monopolies like Apple are also going to get hit at some point.

When ChatGPT was first released I quickly lost count of the number of HN comments predicting Google had about 6-12 months before their search monopoly and ad revenue evaporated.

You think it's not happening? Do you still use google? I don't personally

yes a 100ms search still beats a prompt that takes several seconds to return a response everytime

It depends on what I'm looking for, but by and large yes. It's still much faster.

That's a sweet anecdote. Fortunately, their quarterly numbers say otherwise.
