OpenAI just made a deal with a devil and lost this customer of 2 years. The company (originally non profit) that told us they existed to build AI safely for humanity is now taking Pentagon contracts. Sam Altman decided defense money was more important than every principle the company was founded on.

If you’re done funding that, here’s what to do.

Cancel Plus right now:

Settings, Subscription, Manage, Cancel. You keep access through the end of your billing cycle so there’s no reason to wait. Do it today. Make sure you request a refund as well.

If they don’t cancel your plus immediately, they’ll try to have you pay through the end of the billing cycle. FUCK THEM! REQUEST A REFUND!

Export your data

Settings, Data Controls, Export Data. They’ll email you a zip file with all your conversations, usually within an hour. Download it before your subscription ends.

Switch to Claude

Go to claude.ai and upload your ChatGPT conversations. Tell Claude the context and pick up right where you left off. All your projects, code, writing, research, whatever you had going carries right over.

Claude Pro is the same $20/month. Anthropic was founded by people who left OpenAI specifically because they saw the company abandoning its mission. Turns out they were right about every single concern they raised.

This matters because OpenAI did this on purpose

They didn’t get dragged into defense work and theyproactively rewrote their own usage policies to allow it. They removed the language banning military applications because they wanted to and because Sam Altman is a dirtbag.

This was a calculated business decision to chase government money at the expense of everything they promised when they asked for your trust and your subscription.

You can be done with them in 15 minutes. And you can make the last month hurt a little on your way out.

Edit- burning compute on way out is just bad for environment, this was bad advice, just not giving the your money for your subscription is enough. Millions have deleted their accounts in the last 24 hours!

I have had Gemini and ChatGPT for a while now. Gemini is now at a similar and sometimes better quality in its answers but it's image generation is now superior. With not much difference between them I had been thinking about ending one of the subscriptions to save some money but I was reluctant to end ChatGPT as I was a pro user from day one and used to admire the company for the innovation they brought to the world.

However over the last few years the scandals have piled up and I have always had a horrible feeling about Sam Altman. I feel he is evil like zuckerberg and musk. But what I never realised was that Greg Brockman was just as bad! Finding out he gave $25 million to Trump's inauguration fund, making him the top donor of all of them, actually made me physically sick, especially now with ICE thugs mudering people on the streets. I haven't seen any apology from Brockman or any speaking out against the actions of the administration so it just pushed me to finally making the snap decision.

I exported and downloaded my history. Then I deleted my data on the site and then I cancelled my subscription.

I have been feeling amazing the last few hours.

What the actual f* is this? What kind of paranoid behavior is this? No, not paranoid, preparing. I say it because this is just the beginning of the end of privacy as we know it, all disguised as security measures.

This opens a precedent for everything that we do, say, and upload to be recorded and used against us. Don’t fall for this “to prevent crimes” bs. If that was the case, then Google would have to report everyone who looks up anything that can have a remotely dual threat.

It’s about surveillance, data, and restriction of use.

I didn’t think it could, I’ve always seen things that said chatgpt or any ai couldn’t generate an image of a full glass of wine. Does anyone have an explanation of how this works?

For context, I normally have the $200 plan, but for this month I just got the basic plan. Luna is a great value, and I can use other AI models, but that’s beside the point.

Today, when I went in, I was already out of usage, and since he had said he was going to reset it so I could check, I noticed they’re now offering me the option to pay $8 to reset my usage. I’m not sure how much a reset costs on the $200 plan, but on the $20 plan, it’s $8 per reset, and I guess the feature is already live.I don’t know who else has access to this feature yet, but it’s showing up for me.

Why are we like this.
