"You're absolutely right! That was a children's hospital, not a military base. Let's try that again!"

Canada recently has had its 2nd worst school shooting ever. The killer had many interactions with ChatGPT that warranted banning her account. A whistleblower has claimed that they wanted to inform Canada's police force of these comments but were denied by ChatGPT's management.

They had a chance to stop the death of 8 people, most of which were young children, but failed to do anything.

FUCK CHATGPT AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUN IT

Sam Altman is objectively a bad human being.

You should also stop using Google products for similar reasons.

Dude the only guardrails are

1. No fully automated killings

2. No mass surveillance

You could literally do anything else, you could automate killing people with a person approving.

Trump booted anthropic because they couldn't lift these two guardrails. Fuck me

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?

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

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:

Just the little push I needed to close my ChatGPT account

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.

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.

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

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

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?

Anyone stockpiling ai prompt vulnerabilities for when we'll eventually need them to fight off some deathbots?

I am canceling my subscription now. Fuckers.

Glad that I've switched platforms. sam altman should probably be in prison or something.

I've been using Venice lately, they claim (I have done zero research to determine if this is true) that they're privacy focused. They do run uncensored models, which is a big plus.

That said, I find myself using the lying machine less these days. It was like a fun video game when I first got my hands on it, entertaining for a while, and I'm moving on. Maybe I'm not imaginative enough to use it to the fullest potential, but I'm having more fulfillment actually writing and actually drawing (even though I am very bad at both).

Amazon, gemini, perplexity are also in the us goverment baby bottle nipples.

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

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.
