I am quite worried that people are continuing to use OpenAIs offerings just because it works. Everyone here seem to gloss over the fact that this is a project funded by Peter Thiel. Thousands of morslity posts, complaints about ICE, Tump etcand yet you all choose to use a tool created and funded by the same person enabling this dictatorial machine.
I am speechless everytime I see posts like this and the comments following, vote with your behavior stop supporting and enabling the Peter Thiel universe, just a few weeks ago we had an oped about openAI and Sam, look into yourselfs and really reflect on whom you are enabling by continuing to contribute to their baseline
If you’re expecting morality from the HN crowd they will disappoint you every time. Most of the people here wish they could be as ruthless and successful as someone like Sam Altman.
Thank you for your comment, it's comforting to show I'm not the only one getting offended/disappointed by the behavior of people within our industry.
Truly I don't expect morality, and I'm not even making the moral argument to not use it tbh, as I consider morality to be a double edged sword.
Yet I wish that at least there's some base sensibility, and some common sense or at least to the very least some self accountability on the actions we take as persons in tech, as they transform and influence the world around us.
