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…

Actually Google Gemini provides almost no control on the data you share. Same for Antigravity. No "opt-out" button, even as a lie. Even when you are a paying user. Only Google Workplace users have some control.

There is a setting in Gemini but it removes all your chat history. For Antigravity, I think there is nothing preventing them from use your code and data your agents upload in the background unless you are a workspace user.

Note: Canceled my ChatGPT subscription and deleted an account.

Here’s my take: - when I saw Altman driving a multimillion dollar car while OpenAI was still a nonprofit, all of his scientists left to start rival firms, and the details of why they tried to fire him were legit, I dumped ChatGPT and moved to the new company - Anthropic. - The Pro Max $200/month subscription has uncapped my workflow to where I’ve created several substantial and complex applications in compressed time…

If that would be a first time founder that would be much more of a red flag than for someone’s who’s already beyond rich and powerful even before OpenAI became a thing.

I am buying Anthrophic subscription. I know everything could change and they could also turn evil, but currently they showed willingness to be the good guy

The least of the bad guys. The red line is still far away from being good guys.

that's also fair

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.

Yeah they intentionally broke it. So on Monday morning, instead of just deleting my account, I will be terminating all of the accounts in our company and moving them all to Anthropic. Keep it up, Sam!

I will say that I work for a company where the owner is a stubborn old man who thinks you need to pay for the services and nothing you get indirectly should be considered honest and fair.

The company downsized 4 times in 3 years... We are still trying, but people see no value because they don't understand how they will be bitten back

I am confused. Nothing has changed ( except, obviously, public perception of things ). Why would openAI be a target to 'punish' now and not other times it transgressed ( especially now that it didn't actually do anything )? Honestly, this crap annoys me more than anything else. Don't get me wrong. I am personally a personal inference machine advocate, but I kinda accept it may not be a viable path for everyone.

I assume you missed this announcement from OpenAI:

Altman tweet: “Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.”

From that it reads like the administration quickly agreed to the terms Anthropic wanted with OpenAI instead.

Tangent, but:

> The open source models are extraordinarily effective.

Which models are you referring to? (And in particular, which sizes/versions?)

Oh. That is indeed new. I take its part of the Anthropic saga follow up. In a sense, nothing still changed, because iirc, openAI was already doing stuff for DOW, but I can see now the reason for the reaction.
