Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

  That’s true, people can grow and change. Heck, I used CharacterAI for a very, very brief period when I was lying to myself about it’s impact on not just the world and artists but myself too. I quickly realized I couldn’t defend it, and I didn’t like how it was affecting me personally either so I quickly got rid of it. Been strongly anti-"AI” ever since.

  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.

      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.

        And this is why anybody who made a mistake should be shunned forever, unless they invent a time machine to go back and undo their past misdeeds. They may as well just jump off a bridge and save us the trouble of setting up a firing squad.

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

        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!

        Well, judge not lest you too be judged…

        There is no such thing as “ethical” AI coming from Big Tech. Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Amazon, all of them built their machines without consent, all their machines have been subsidized with our taxes and resources, and Anthropic is a pro-Trump pro-foreign-dictator company that crossed every single red line until the very last one.

        Anthropic was pro mass surveillance of foreigners.

        It was okay with helping Trump plan criminal invasions.

        It just doesn’t want to be held responsible for pushing the “go” button, but we know their software was one suggestion away from doing it anyway.
