1.5 Million Users Leave ChatGPT

Unlike social networks or auction platforms, the mass departure of users (this isn’t that), would not affect the quality of experience of those remaining. There’s not the same network effects.

I hope this keeps momentum. If nothing else, it may force assholes like Altman to think a little bit about the impact of a decision to sell services to a government / military. And it may lead some folks into discovering privacy-preserving local inference as an alternative for a lot of use cases, which is always a plus.

On topic of just data requests from OpenAI - this article says “Be aware that this process isn’t instant” I did notice this an wonder what changed - I do periodic data backups of various services, and up until recently it was impressive, as ChatGPTs email with data zip file link arrived maybe within 1-3 min of the request, for around a ~1GB file. I have similar amount of data now (even less, I pruned some), yet now the file takes a really long time to prepare and receive.

Bollocks. <name> (optional) <email> (optional) join the boycott! 1.5m have essentially signed an e-petition. I hate this e-pteition things.

I'm also in process of migrating away from OpenAI - I don't like the management, the product has quirks I can't stand, and now the latest PR disaster.

This story is such a click bait. A random website makes baseless claims and everyone takes this as face value.

I probably don't understand it but, the reports are all that it is Anthropic, not OpenAI, that is the one supplying the AI fuel for the present Iran war. (Thus the delay in the imagined military rejection of Anthropic). Meanwhile OpenAI says it has exactly the same principles and 'red lines' but is somehow implementing them differently. They seem to agree that they do not differ in any of the respects in question. The real story has to be completely different.

Claude has been so unusable in last few days that I moved to ChatGPT.
