Their trajectory was clear the moment they signed a deal with Microsoft if not sooner.

Absolute snakes - if it's more profitable to manipulate you with outputs or steal your work, they will. Every cent and byte of data they're given will be used to support authoritarianism.

I feel much the same. I know no AI lab is truly 'ethical' or free from some hand in modern warfare, but last week was enough.

Don't worry, the non-profit should be stepping in at any moment to help fix things up.

I agree with ya. You aren't alone in this. For what its worth, Chatgpt subscriptions have been cancelled or that number has risen ~300% in the last month.

Also, Anthropic/Gemini/even Kimi models are pretty good for what its worth. I used to use chatgpt and I still sometimes accidentally open it but I use Gemini/Claude nowadays and I personally find them to be better anyways too.

Govt. contracts and terms allowing autonomous drone machines which can kill without any human in the loop have a very large difference

I know the difference between this is none but to me, its that Anthropic stood for what it thought was right. It had drew a line even if it may have costed some money and literally have them announced as supply chain and see all the fallout from that in that particular relevant thread.

As a person, although I am not fan of these companies in general and yes I love oss-models. But I still so so much appreciate atleast's anthropic's line of morality which many people might seem insignificant but to me it isn't.

So for the workflows that I used OpenAI for, I find Anthropic/gemini to be good use. I love OSS-models too btw and this is why I recommended Kimi too.

that aside, chatgpt itself has gone downhill so much and i know i'm not the only one feeling this way

i just HATE talking to it like a chatbot

idk what they did but i feel like every response has been the same "structure" since gpt 5 came out

feels like a true robot
