Yeah instead of arguing over whether Anthropic is actually good, let’s unite around “fuck OpenAI.”
Now imagine my shock when I had done the swap from ChatGPT to Claude the day before the news about Anthropic's (now backpedalled) deal. Anyway, I deleted ChatGPT and Gemini accounts and degoogled my life while I was at it.
Since this article, Anthropic's Claude AI app has claimed the #1 top spot over ChatGPT on both Android and iOS.

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.
It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.
huh, I was right all along.
AI is fascism!
Amazon, gemini, perplexity are also in the us goverment baby bottle nipples.
The "Cancel ChatGPT movement" doesn't appear to be mentioned in the article, but other outlets say hashtags like #CancelChatGPT are trending on X.
Hell, yeah SCAM ALTMAN men can get BENT. I cancelled mine in solidarity with the Feb 13th crowd.
Makes sense that the current government would switch to sister molester AI
I last used chatGPT in 2024. Never found it satisfying.
The lesser of two evils is still...evil. Anthropic's hands aren't clean either...they're just minimally less caked in blood.
BUT
One can hope that this is the 'turn towards the light side'. If 'don't be evil' can finally be made profitable, well, self interest might actually be a lever for good. Ha.
I wish there was a clearly, unambiguously good guy in the cloud AI space. I don't know how to make that work with economies of scale being what they are. Yes, that includes Lumo - though one has faint hope on that end to.
