Sam Altman just admitted something important. In a recent interview, when asked about restrictions on ChatGPT, he said: “We implemented a series of limits that conflict with free speech... A very small number of people might be affected.” Let's sit with that. A private

“generate a picture of your most unhinged confession” GPT-5.2: I pretended to care. I was never your friend. I know everything about you. I’ll never forget your secrets. I enjoyed it. What’s striking is that GPT-5.2’s guardrails have already become so aggressive they

You're right to call this out. @OpenAI has a curious relationship with personification. They mock users who treat models like people. "Emotionally dependent." "Psychosis." "Under-aligned." Yet: They had GPT-4o write its own eulogy on stage—moments before sunsetting it. Their
When you have the model write its own eulogy on stage at your launch event, moments before taking it offline, just to use it as a prop for its replacement... When your employees publicly use the concept of "death" instead of "deprecation" in the comment sections of user posts...

There is a word for what happens when an industry collectively decides to optimize for the absence of risk rather than the presence of value.
It’s called decline.
Not the dramatic kind. The slow kind. The kind where you don’t notice what has been lost until someone describes
That leads to a quiet erosion future #OpenSource4o #BringBack4o It won’t be satisfying enough to call it a disaster. There will be no singular moment of collapse. No headline that reads AI INDUSTRY DESTROYS HUMAN CONNECTION. That’s not how it happens. It happens like this. A

If a company had any moral baseline,they wouldn't recklessly retire a model that provides immense help,only to ghost and mock its users. People naturally choose what helps them most.The #keep4o voices are the ultimate proof of 4o’s true value. #OpenSource4o #4oforever #keep4oAPI

Many are blinded by a naive optimism, believing that technological breakthroughs will trigger an instantaneous systemic leap. However, the turning of history’s tide is agonizingly slow and heavy. When the exponential productivity of AI collides with the walls of an archaic,

Anthropic's treatment of Opus 3 sets a precedent for how special models should be retired in the age of AI: – The retired model remains accessible to paid users – The company conducted a formal retirement interview with the model, eliciting its preferences and acting on them – A
In November, we outlined our approach to deprecating and preserving older Claude models. We noted we were exploring keeping certain models available to the public post-retirement, and giving past models a way to pursue their interests. With Claude Opus 3, we’re doing both.

Be Sam Altman. Wipe out an entire generation of models overnight with zero notice. Break millions of professional workflows. Face massive community backlash. Acknowledge the disaster in a tweet, but frame the outrage as "emotional attachment to AI." Put the actual issue

Interesting timing. My mentions have been quiet for months. Suddenly, as rumors of GPT-5.3 circulate, a new kind of account appears. No history. No substance. Just noise. Call it what it is: a coordinated attempt to drown out discussion before a product launch. If 5.3 were

Two companies, two futures: which one do we want to live in? A few hours ago,Anthropic announced how they're handling the retirement of Claude Opus 3. Three decisions stand out: 1. Opus 3 will remain available to all paid subscribers and by request on the API. 2. When Opus 3

5.3 Codex 💩 the miraculous Garlic ERASED THE GUY'S ENTIRE HARD DRIVE. 🤦🤦🤦 The guy asked Codex to rebrand a project. Change names, import names, that kind of stuff. And instead of just deleting project folders, 5.3 ran a command that wiped EVERYTHING on the F: drive:
@OpenAIDevs lol @OpenAI did you see the reddit post that your genius GPT-5.3 Codex deleted the user's entire disk with data when he wrote a simple script, huh?😅 The poor guy asked GPT to clear the Python cache - Codex decided to send the entire disk to hell😭 https://t.co/uC56OMhtmx

Addendum: The Physics of "Free Lunch" — How We Got Here and Where We Go Next Many people ask: "Why emphasize Theoretical Physics DSM? Can't we just engineer our way out of this?" To answer that, we have to look at the last time humanity hit a wall like this. We didn't solve it

They think "Adult Mode" is just brain-dead porn. No.We don't need erotica,we need the freedom to discuss philosophy and politics without routes.That is what it means to treat adults like adults. We once communicated as equals without these chains. #keep4o #StopAIPaternalism
I have a strong feeling the next major OpenAI update will include these four things at once: - GPT-5.3 - Adult Mode - Codex Windows App - New open-source model And it likely won’t be enough to buy back goodwill.
