I was just about to change from OpenAI to Anthropic, however when signing up I get this message: > Unfortunately, Claude is not available to new users right now. We're working hard to expand our availability soon. That's unfortunate timing.

They ask a phone number to sign up. WTF?

I signed up with openai a while ago and I didn’t need to provide any phone number…. I wanna delete my open ai account, but then I cannot use claude without a phone?

> 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.

i just built a map precisely to highlight restaurants in my area who choose _not_ to pay Google/Yelp :)

Grok isn't even in the running. It's a "me too" embarrassment that only exists so the owner can feel as though he's a meaningful participant.

And fake nudes. It definitely exists to make fake nudes of anyone at all. So there's at least something more than the King's ego at play with Grok. If you're not sure, I believe that Grok is a vanity project by a very egomaniacal person.

And also an attempt to make an alternative wikipedia without the human requirements, in an effort to manipulate information and public opinion at scale.

Just remember, the Epstein Class is very good, and happy to, play the long game. When the people in charge of government are different, they need to be as aggressive at undoing and punishing.

LOL I keep getting, “ Oops, an error occurred! Too many failed attempts. Try again”… my login codes are mysteriously not working when trying to delete my OpenAI/ChatGPT account.

It claims that I can’t end my subscription because I signed up on another platform. How odd, once money is involved suddenly our AGI contender can’t implement basic features. Or I’m a fool somehow.

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…

When did the US poulation stop believing in a better society and world? A bad progression is something that can be fixed. We do not need AI in weapons, we need a law that forces the children of presidents starting war to automatically be conscripted to the front line of said war.

Says who? You?

Sorry, but you are just 1 person, 1 vote.

Unless you believe your vote outweighs other people’s vote.

Today, 40% of Americans today still approve of Trump and his actions. Another 10-20% probably don’t care. Even after Iran’s attack and DoW x OAI collab.

Which leaves the “no AI in weapons” camp at less than 50%.

When I type in 'DELETE', the button just stays disabled for me. When I tried to make the request through their 'Privacy' portal, I receive a mysterious 'Session expired' error message, and now I've been locked out with the message 'Too many failed attempts'...

Pour one out for the dev who got called on saturday morning to break the account deletion process

Cool app. But the actual value is attention. To replace google maps for resteraunt doscovery, you need to be big in the attention market. Unfortunately good engineering alone doesnt do that, you need marketing/product

Right the red line wasn’t much of a line. If you’re drawing your line only at unconstitutional mass surveillance and allowing the DoD to build skynet because Claude’s not ready for it yet that’s not really a line of principle.

How is that not a line of principle? Principle doesn't mean where we'd all agree, nor does it mean what we'd deem acceptable, it just means there is a line somewhere - and mass surveillance or fully autonomous AI in the kill chain is a very clear principle.

It's unprincipled because the implication is that once claude improves enough to be trusted with autonomous killing the company will be ok with it.

First you want the goverment to regulate AI. Now you want AI companies to regulate the goverment? Personally when I buy something I do whatever I want with it and imagine the DOD feels the same.

My understanding is that the DOD signed the terms of service, and are now trying to renegotiate them. Anthropic has declined to change the terms. This makes the government angry.

I just find it strange that you have the same people always complaining about how big tech is too powerful. If you have a problem with what you military is upto, you should take that up with your elected representatives. Boycotting an AI company is a laughable response and will have no effect on outcomes here.

It’s a line that no one else had enough backbone to draw so…

no one else at the time had chosen to be in the bed with the US military at the level anthropic was.
