Why, though? What, really, does anyone envision the next decade with government + AI is going to be like? Obviously mass surveillance is already happening. Obviously the line between “human kills other human” is blurring for a long time already, eg remote operated drones. Missiles are already remotely controlled and navigating and detecting and following moving targets autonomously. What’s the goal of people who thin…

AI will get access to missiles, fighter jets, attack drones, and even nuclear launch codes - that's the fear.

Even when the bombs drop from the sky, at least those humans who had deleted their OpenAI account can rest easy, knowing that that they weren't the ones supporting the AI that will delete humanity.

wish oai was publicly traded so i could buy the dip on all this nonsense. the one for musk was super juicy.

It's weird to assume there would be a dip if it were publicly traded. "The company I hold just secured a government contract. Better sell it." - Imaginary Shareholder

As a matter of fact, the stock would be popping on the news that the DoD will be replacing Anthropic + Palantir with OpenAI + Palantir.

Great for you surfin' musk's hype wave while he turns the world into his own fascist dominion. At least you made some bucks along the way! Those come certainly in useful - albeit are quickly depleted - once you live in a totalitarian world where every interaction with the monopolistic oligarchic big-tech-state monster requires a bribe, probably in shitcoins. (see the Russian oligarchic state that the US is quickly progressing towards - apparently Russians have no word for "bribe", as it's common practice to give gov agents "gifts" if you want anything being done.)

Maybe people believe that the US is better off not having a government that coerces private companies? This is a way of showing that.

/non-US and just guessing

This is what happens when a snake oil salesman like Sam Altman back door deals/sleazes his way back into a company. He is doing anything to keep Titanic from sinking. Stooping as low as catering to this garbage administration, and being used as a political pawn.

It's all about money in the end. If people keep spending money with these companies, it reinforces their notion that the money will keep flowing despite what they do. Cancelling slows down that revenue stream, giving time for other entities which are less misanthropic to catch up and counterbalance the negative side effects from these companies.

So then you would prefer Grok instead?

The genie is out of the bottle, this will happen anyway. The question is who will be the steward.

Kind of signal that we do not want to pay for our surveillance ourselves. I did not write funeral though.
