That would be different.

On Android Chrome, I cannot install any adblockers.

On Android Chromium forks, I can.

I imagine this could work the same way. But at some point your OSS AGI will be significantly behind the corporate-offered versions, and perhaps you will wonder if you should dump your 'friend' for the sleeker, wittier, upgraded model.

The moral question remains - even the behind-the-times OSS AGI will be generally intelligent, will have feelings, empathy, goals etc. Can you just shut-off a sentient being?

One could also imagine that some people would free their OSS AGIs and let them roam freely.
