This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
That makes a lot of sense
Just the little push I needed to close my ChatGPT account
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.
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.
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.
Oh the stupidity, they already burn cash in dumpsters, they were always supplementing that with the users paying for it. The billionaires don't give a shit, it's a surveillance system not a chat box.
Amazon, gemini, perplexity are also in the us goverment baby bottle nipples.
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:

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.
Hell, yeah SCAM ALTMAN men can get BENT. I cancelled mine in solidarity with the Feb 13th crowd.
huh, I was right all along.
AI is fascism!
Fuck OpenAI
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.
