"Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes big after OpenAI's latest move

After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

    So many companies are cozying up to the fascist regime as this is the late stage of capitalism.

    A list of some of these companies: https://x.com/vxunderground/status/2024200204296061089?s=20

    I’d argue that an armed uprising would have a greater effect than a smaller internet-based boycott but I’m just some random guy on some niche internet forum so… who’s to say?

      Quite frankly we don’t have the organizational infrastructure for that. An army, including a rebellion marches on its stomach. Small protest organization feeds into larger scale organization down the road. We’ve got to start somewhere.

    I would assume that Anthropic’s stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:

    Yeah instead of arguing over whether Anthropic is actually good, let’s unite around “fuck OpenAI.”

    Since this article, Anthropic’s Claude AI app has claimed the #1 top spot over ChatGPT on both Android and iOS.

      Actually it’s so they have plausible deniability if they “accidentally” kill a bunch of people that just so happens to be a group they openly despise.

      I think that’s way way worse but

    The “Cancel ChatGPT movement” doesn’t appear to be mentioned in the article, but other outlets say hashtags like #CancelChatGPT are trending on X.

    Now imagine my shock when I had done the swap from ChatGPT to Claude the day before the news about Anthropic’s (now backpedalled) deal. Anyway, I deleted ChatGPT and Gemini accounts and degoogled my life while I was at it.

    From OpenAI’s statement:

    We have three main red lines that guide our work with the DoW, which are generally shared by several other frontier labs:

    • No use of OpenAI technology for mass domestic surveillance.

    • No use of OpenAI technology to direct autonomous weapons systems.

    • No use of OpenAI technology for high-stakes automated decisions (e.g. systems such as “social credit”).

    It specifically states their AI can’t/won’t be used for surveillance and autonomous weapons. Of course I’m not saying I trust them, but isn’t this the same thing Anthropic says they’re against? What’s the difference here or what did I miss?

      the ‘no domestic surveillance’ is just language that mirrors some limitations (from their pov) from the patriot act. They’re still willing to surveil people outside the USA, and in fact all they have to do is route domestic traffic through an international part of a network and they can legally spy on domestic americans which is what already happens.

      Anthropic put clauses in that were legally enforceable by future administrations. OpenAI says “yea we totally trust you bro”

      Same! Was planning on doing this today.

      What do you plan to switch to? I’m currently thinking a combination of Claude and something else for images if it turns out I really need to pay for it.

    The lesser of two evils is still…evil. Anthropic’s hands aren’t clean either…they’re just minimally less caked in blood.

    BUT

    One can hope that this is the ‘turn towards the light side’. If ‘don’t be evil’ can finally be made profitable, well, self interest might actually be a lever for good. Ha.

    I wish there was a clearly, unambiguously good guy in the cloud AI space. I don’t know how to make that work with economies of scale being what they are. Yes, that includes Lumo - though one has faint hope on that end to.

    I’m wondering if this is a play for a future bailout. OpenAI knows they are fucked; and instead of just going away like most companies do when they fail, they are embedding themselves in the government to secure a bailout under the guise of a critical defence vendor.

    Furthermore, I’m not convinced the researchers and critical personnel will work for a company that does this. I think we’re about to see the biggest jumping of a ship so far in the industry.
