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.
I switched a very long time ago when Gemini was released and it was a very easy switch at the time. I have never missed ChatGPT and due to current circumstances I'm kind of happy I made the switch. It woukd be a lot harder for me now to switch from Gemini (except for code of course)
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.
I started mine monday and it never finished (never got the email saying its ready). I started it again on tuesday and it finished in two hours. Maybe they just had a surge of exports on monday.
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.
