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…
I agree, if you can do boycott all of them (and maybe use open weight models locally or on e2ee cloud inference providers) - BUT I also think it 's crucial at a moment like this to take a stance against corporations like openAi that sign with the War Department, willing to introduce mass surveillance and autonomous weapons powered by brittle LLMs. This is a recipe for disaster and the only way they will sway away is…
My impression is that this was never about the TOS. It was about breaking a contract with Anthropic by someone with an incentive to replace it with OpenAI.
I don’t have evidence, just using Occam’s razor.

#173Posting 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…
Why boycott? Just use their free services and never pay for it. Cost them money instead of pay them money is a step further than boycott.
If it’s free, then you’re the product. OpenAI gets your data and ad revenue, and can raise more investor money due to how many users they have.

If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold. No, thank you.

#175Just a heads up for people that used phone numbers to verify their account before you decide to proceed with account deletion. > New accounts are still subject to our limit of 3 accounts per phone number. Deleted accounts also count toward this limit. > Deleting an account does not free up another spot. > A phone number can only ever be used up to 3 times for verification to generate the first API key for your accoun…

> I can't decouple from Google unfortunately Why not?
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.

#177I 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.
Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#178I stopped paying OpenAI a long time ago. I get that actually deleting your OpenAI account hurts their ‘numbers’ and thus possibly their valuation. I choose another path: I use their tokens for free, hopefully helping them go out of business a little sooner. The irony is that until yesterday I felt more or less the same about Anthropic. Last night I paid for an Anthropic subscription I don’t need in order to both supp…
I think what anthropic did yesterday was good, but I had to take a step back and think, well it wasn’t a bridge too far for them to allow claude to be used in the wildly illegal maduro kidnapping operation.

> HIGHLY unlikely the DoW would give them a different terms than Antrohopic [sic]
I disagree. OpenAi getting the same deal while Anthropic is made a punching bag for resisting. This is very on brand, do not cross the King in public.
The Trump-Epstein administration is obsessed with social media and how they are perceived. Right vs wrong, consistency, accuracy, truth... these are all secondary to appearing "strong" or "winning". They care more about what they are going to tweet than the facts (see Patel, FBI, and the murder of Good & Pretti).
Now look at Iran, Trump said in a post "the calvary is coming" and now we have the largest military build up in the Middle East since invading Iraq. They are now claiming that Iran is days from a nuke and building missiles that can reach the US, after they said the "obliterated" it and fired people for even saying "we don't know yet" It's more likely they will be able to change these things by raining bombs from the sky...
It's imperative look strong and not like you were the one that backed down... One of Roy Cohn's earliest lessons to the young Donald

#180Yeah sure right after everyone deletes their X account and stops posting links here
Altman's immorality is theoretical
Musk's is literal, he's murdered a million people by purposely destroying USAID, leaving food and medication already paid for to rot in warehouses
