FYI for basic stuff you can always use duck.ai which also aggregates other models.
Duck.ai seems good, as is Proton’s Lumo.
OpenAI – How to delete your account

Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#92Posting 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…
maybe they will have a human in the loop when vibe bombing the world, if the person agrees not to use an ad blocker

#93Unfortunately, HN might represent a very tiny percentage of the decision makers who conduct business with OpenAI.

I distrust OpenAI as much as the next guy, but “Scam Altman” has “70-year-old uncle Facebook rant” energy.
We can lower that to a 54 year old: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889070627908145538 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1935733153119010910 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1894244902357406013 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1955299075781431726 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889371675164303791 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1935539112746041422 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1955190817251102883 https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1955…
Ewwww, gross. You have permanently spoiled that perfect nickname for me.
Sigh, all that's left that I can think of is $pam Altman and $ham Altman. Anyone got any better ones?
Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#95I 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.
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.

> there's a way to send a message with only a 30 day hiatus And that message would be "We have a product so valuable/useful that not even their weak ideals and moral obligations could keep them away!"
Large corporations do not, and are not able to, respond to long term signals. One month is literally a third of a corporations's attention span (a financial quarter).
Ehh. In the last corporate PR nightmare I was witness to internally we absolutely tracked return subscribers in our fallout dashboard.
Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#97Why, 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.
Every country is going to arm themselves with AI.
Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#98Boycott them all. Shit anti-human tech & philosophy.
Re: OpenAI – How to delete your account
#99Next week Anthropic will do something evil and everyone will be moving back to OpenAI. Crazy thought but maybe we should regulate AI instead of relying on the hegemony of three companies to police themselves.
The problem is, who is "we".
When EU tries to regulate AI, they are accused of being against progress and will destroy their economies.
Any regulation that Trump would place on AI would be of the "do what I say and f*k up my opponents" kind. Which arguably is already happening.
