Yeah, in fact, I’m increasing my subscription to Anthropic and decreasing to OAI. Now if there was a way to easily port conversation history between one and another I’d probably be fine with deleting OpenAI. ChatGPT has years of my and my families interactions in its history and those are mostly useless to others, but to me they’re valuable. But the knob I have is my spend, so here it goes… If OpenAI had shown any fi…

Export your data and ask Claude to shove it in a database that you can let it access anytime you want via tool calling. I agree, this could have been a moment of solidarity across the industry, an acknowledgement that we're all in this together having fun and building out intelligent systems, and instead we're seeing Sam Altman yet again for who he really is.

I need them actually in the chat form sadly. But downgrading is sufficient.

Same here, because I'm a part owner of a restaurant and we'd probably lose half our business without being on Google Maps as it's not in a busy street.

i just built a map precisely to highlight restaurants in my area who choose _not_ to pay Google/Yelp :) https://eat.dash.nyc https://github.com/jareklupinski/dash-nyc

This is super cool, thanks for sharing it!

I really didn't expect OpenAI to do something as immoral as this, despite their history of stealing the world's data to create a public-facing deep-fake generation machine. I am shocked and appalled.

The US govt is fighting against true immorality in this very hour, the radical Muslim Iranian government who has been murdering thousands of citizens and holding the population hostage for decades. Ask the Iranian people if they think openai is immoral.

Just boycott them all if you can. That's what I've done. Some people's livelihoods probably depends on Claude and they can't say use Glm4.7 on HF. Fine. But it's a moral compromise, that's life sometimes you need to compromise what you want for what you need. just don't tell yourself it's a reasonable line to hold. I can't decouple from Google unfortunately but I accept that without fooling myself into thinking "Oh b…

Interesting.

Chatting GLM-5(reasoning)(preview) answers just fine. Even after restricting web search and giving answer based on its own knowledge. Probably the results were different in China?

(GLM-4.7 failed to know anything without web search)

Mass surveillance may be illegal anyway as you say, but what is the relevance of that? I hope you don't take it being illegal to imply that the government isn't going to do it.

If you think the gov't is doing illegal things to US citizens then provide the proof and expose it. I don't have evidence so I am not going to speculate either way.

Google Edward Snowden. Odd you never heard of the guy and his leaks.

Posting it here as a top-level comment as many people asked why boycott just openAi: ----- openAI is the least trustworthy of the Big LLM providers. See S(c)am Altman's track record, especially his early comments in senate hearings where: * he warned of engagement-optimisation strategies, like social media, being used for chatbots / LLMs. * also, he warned that "ads would be the last resort" for LLM companies. Both o…

I think this misses the main reason. I mean ads have been a thing for a while now. What's new is:

* Brockman donates $25m to a pro Trump super PAC

* Altman is in talks with talks with the Pentagon since Wednesday

* Now it's announced Anthropic is dropped by the military, designated a supply chain risk, and OpenAI takes over its military contract, after Anthropic objected to surveilling US citizens and allowing autonomous kill bots.

The thing stinks rather.

The whole military thing, as far as I can see, what OpenAI and Anthropic are doing is the same, is it not? According to OpenAI's statement it seems there terms were the same as Anthropic. Of course there is a possible reason to distrust them, but it seems public theatre.

I'm more concerned this is actually a coverup for a bribe, considering Brockman just dominated $25 million.

Is this how you justify not doing anything?

Is this how you justify doing pointless things?

Cancelling my account may be a small action but it is not pointless. Expressing my views and voting with my wallet is my right. Even your seemingly pointless question is a good reminder of the impact we can have - thanks!
