> they're controlled by huge corporations and cost a significant amount of money to use.

is there anything you use that isn't? like laptop on which you work, software that you use to browse the internet, read the email... I've heard similar comment like yours before and I am not sure I understand it given everything else - why does this matter for LLMs and not the phone you use etc etc?

I’ve used FreeBSD since I was 15 years old - Linux before that.

My computer was never controlled by any corporation, until now.

Yeah I've always run Linux on my computers for the past 30 years. I'm pretty used to being in control.

what phone do you use?

A desktop/laptop is fundamentally different from a phone.

except of course they are controlled by huge corporations and cost a significant amount of money to use

Yes, but they are fundamentally different use cases.
