Windows Central shouldn't be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.

I can't believe people were paying for it in the first place.

nice headline, but wtf is windows central?

Hell, yeah SCAM ALTMAN men can get BENT. I cancelled mine in solidarity with the Feb 13th crowd.

A Microsoft-oriented news outlet.

Think similar to MacRumors/9to5Mac/AppleInsider for Apple.

Honestly - it's too fucking late. Anyone who had an account with OpenAI and used that garbage is already an abbetor and/or accomplice to anything that is done by Hegseth and his henchmen.

It's like it joined a cult and got a new name.

They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

Cancelling now is still better late than never.

I mean it's at least accurate now, there is no defense when you are starting war with everyone

About half a day.

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.

Canceling now only means you are not continuing to contribute to the war atrocities that the technology is going to be used for. If you had an account and used it, you have already contributed.

Thanks for doing this - it isn't a proper leftist get-together without some assclown imposing impossible purity tests.

you are no true Irishman!

Makes sense that the current government would switch to sister molester AI

Impossible purity test? That's utter bull crap. There have been many warnings about the negative uses of AI for years now, for example: https://aiforgood.itu.int/event/addressing-the-dark-sides-of-ai/

To expect people to be able to understand that this use could be expanded to committing state sponsored atrocities is not a stretch.

There are so many levels to hell I haven't even heard of.

$$$

I have an IRA account, does that make me kinda Irish?

Does it have 3$ in it and is there a Guinness in yer hand? Then welcome to the Irish me boy

Which they badly need, they are in an incredibly risky position right now. It's very disappointing, this deal might save them from collapse for quite a while.

Many times it’s mandatory. Like when your employer forces it upon you and makes it automatically invoke ChatGPT whenever you open a pull request.

mainstream

I'll believe that when my sisters start saying this. Till then, it's just us privacy fans screaming in a dark cave, enjoying the echo.

You are fucking insane. By your logic any customer of a company that might one day build a weapon is complicit. That is asinine.

Flogging Molly has been fun to be reminded to listen to. Brought me back to Streetlight Manifesto that i forgot was great, also do you mind if i borrow one of those dollar bills while i go to take a leak real quick?

And this is why anybody who made a mistake in the past should be shunned forever, regardless of their current views and actions. They may as well just jump off a bridge and save us the trouble of setting up a firing squad.

The Department of War isn't a real thing. Its called The Department of Defense. That's not my opinion either, its officially/legally called The Department of Defense.

After Anthropic refused flat out to agree to apply Claude AI to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens, OpenAI jumps right into bed with the United States Department of War.

I think people are a little bit missing the important bit. This government wants to send out autonomous weapons along with mass surveillance. They'll just murder anyone they want, if the AI gets it right in the first place.

Here we are in Running Man and no one sees it coming. This is why Stephen King is so against this administration. He predicted it.

They never said they should be shunned, they didnt even list a social consequence. The fact remains that if you used OpenAI in the past you already contributed.

Like with ANY kind of science (and, like it or not, that is what "AI" research and products are), the money comes from governments. Real Genius is one of my all time favorite movies (and has influenced my life WAY more than it should) but... anyone with an advanced STEM degree can tell you that the reality is you 100% know where your money is coming from. And you are either a naive moron or you figure out why the US (or UK or FR or RU or CN or...) government is so interested in your work to rapidly generate connections between social media posts and your buddy's really efficient graph search algorithm and...

I am all for shitting on openai/chatgpt for immediately bending over backwards for the us government. Let's not pretend anthropic/claude are paragons of virtues and privacy.

Yeah, we live and learn. We don't expect perfection, we expect self improvement. Its important not to excuse bad decisions/behavior. Be more skeptical of new technology in the future and pay attention to who's creating/selling it.

They aren't defending shit

Sentiment of the Mac vs PC flame wars ^^^^

Especially since the Trump admin already made it clear that they don’t respect preferred pronouns. Why should we use the DoD’s preferred pronouns of Department of War instead of the Department of Defense name it legally has? DoW is just DoD’s preferred pronoun.

But MAGA only voted for the department of pedophiles. This is an outrage.

The only disappointment, is that Altmans head is still attached to his shoulders.

Yeah, there are all sorts of ways in which standing up to the administration is hard, but calling something by its actual name should be a relatively easy thing to do!

huh, I was right all along.

AI is fascism!

No, no, even if we get that wish I dont want the US state propping up AI longer

They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don't know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place

Use for "all lawful means" is quite the grey area considering no one was arrested or fired, or any law updated, for what Snowden leaked. If the NSA does it, no one will arrest the NSA.

so explain it to them gently. you won't reach everyone, but you'll reach more people than accepting this status quo

Department of War is more apt, however

This person uses the internet, which for *years *has had TONs of negative uses.

How do you think Epstein emailed his buddies? The internet.

You can't trust people that use evil technologies like user Unattributed. Thanks for the incredibly sound and intelligent logical framework!

One more boycott I can't join because I never touched the company lol

Ha! I fucking called that after they claimed they also were taking a hard line. Complete bullshit.
