Future of OpenAI + Local AI

OpenAI's Codex Cloud and Dots, along with Meta's and OpenAI's planned hardware, aim to free users from PC reliance, offering AI devices that could eventually replace iPhones. This strategy, driven by Altman's "One Stop Shop" goal, seeks to bypass Microsoft/Apple's hardware control, leading to a subscription-based AI access model. While convenient, this raises concerns about user dependence and the potential for OpenAI to alter or terminate subscriptions.
