Technology

Honestly, people are probably going to start using it much less once they put in ads on the the low and free tiers.

They're realizing they can't turn profit over expenses when the VC money dries up without jacking price.

Same shit different fad. Offshoring was all the rage until the demand meant they started charging more, the quality went down, and the reality of cross-timezone management became obvious. Cloud was all the rage until the prices went up from demand and also kept running into outages, and now some companies are "re-inhousing" their infrastructure.

Cant' wait till they realize they also can't deliver at regular clip with only half the workers. Wont' be soon enough, alas.

If you thought the banks were too big to fail, get ready for this fucking bailout

Subscriptions? You idiots are paying for this shit?

Educational institutions are buying microsoft services as a trend and we need them to boycott also.

Getting bus pass in my university takes 5 business days so they can "save cost on students who don't use it."

Meanwhile everyone's student gmail implicitly has a subscription to copilot, gemini, and openai at the same time; it doesn't matter if you are using them or not.

Paid by our tuition no doubt.

All these boycotts I can't join since I never paid for them in the first place 😢

Unsubscribe from all the things.

not just chatgpt.

Stop using Amazon, Meta products, Netflix, Spotify, etc.

All of these massive corporations are actively making life worse for people, and it will only get worse and worse as people continue to stay subscribed.

The only option is to log off and find an alternative.

I don't pay for AI. There is no real value in it at massive scale for it to be paid for me. Plus it is harmful. I can local host AI for small tasks like cleaning up some data.

People pay for subscription to ask AI?

Grok/Mechahitler owner likely has donated more to GOP/Trump rule. Anthropic CEO wrote an essay that outlined dangers of AI recently, but also underlined how the pure good US must develop Skynet to oppress all of the bad evil opposition to the US empire.

The entire industry is lining up to get US government military/surveillance applications to use the absurd level of datacenters/energy that are being committed to, because "Skynet now or China wins" is even more aggressive consensus than "too big to fail".

The point is we can't compete with this saas ai products with our local models that runs on our poor homeservers. Affording a subscription is way more cheaper in shorter term.

It blows my mind people actually subscribe to mostly wrong answers.

I kinda wish I'd been using it so I could quit!

I've been a long time user and subscriber of ChatGPT plus. It has helped me tremendously and I probably wouldn't be where I am without it.

I canceled mt subscription recently. I won't continue to give money to ClosedAI. There are alternatives.

Sam Altman can burn in hell.

Off with their heads! GO self-hosted, go local... toss the rest in the trash can before this crap gets a foothold and fully enshitifies

Or better yet Unsubscribe but dont stop using ths service, if enough go from paying customer to wasteful freeloader they will lose even more. 

Why would anyone subscribe? LLMs rarely are actually helpful and I really tried, as I'm a damn tech-nerd for decades. But most of the time it just takes longer to get worse results than just doing it yourself.

I would not pay 1 buck annually for this. And surely not 30 a month
