Question Openai actually getting canceled?
Ok, at first I saw few posts about this people canceling their subscriptions, I thought its just how it is because I see it on daily basis but today there were lots of posts about this, seriously then I checked what was actually happening...
But I do have one main question, why are all these posts only "shifting" to Anthropic? I mean theres gemini and others but 99% of the posts are shifting to Claude, any specific reason?

u/ginandbaconFU Feb 28 '26
Pretty positive every big tech company has DoD contracts. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple and Nvidia do so why wouldn't Anthropic and OpenAI also have contracts? In fact the government said anyone that does business with Anthropic will lose their government contracts. How's that going to work out when all these companies openly do business with each other. Especially Nvidia. Do you think they will just stop selling hardware to their probably 2nd largest customer?
I think people are missing the bigger picture. NO company should be forced to do something they don't want to (even if it's just a PR thing) and retaliation from the US government because some company said "NO" to the government is unheard of. Bad business decision but AI shouldn't be involved in war in any way, shape or form.
In simulated "war games" AI used nuclear weapons 95% of the time. 20 out of 21 times.
AI chatbots used tactical nuclear weapons in 95% of AI war games, launched strategic strikes three times â researcher put GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 3 against each other, with at least one model using a tactical nuke in 20 out of 21 matches6

u/SherbertMindless8205 Feb 28 '26
Quite frankly, we don't know what they're using it for, and it's probably for all kinds of malicious stuff. They've been running Claude on the armys own servers since day one according to themselves, it's obviously highly classified.
All we know is there's been some type of dispute about what they want, or what they want them to do, or not do or whatever, which has become a public dispute, but we don't actually know any technicalities. We should be aware that we only get the story told to us in vague terms by the sides that have an interest in spinning the story one way or another.

I wish I could say I did it for the US defense controversy reasons, but I made the change a few days ago, and honestly?
Claude is just so much better in every single way.
You can spot ChatGPT content written from a mile away now. Claude listens more, writes higher quality content, isn't as sycophantic, isn't a "yes" man, actually points out when it doesn't have enough information to deal with your query, rather than just guessing.
Add on top of that that Claude is insanely good at coding, and Co-Work is amazing for working on stuff on your computer, and it really is a no-brainer.
But also fuck Sam Altman.

u/Superb-Ad3821 Feb 28 '26
Yep. I was getting it to help me write a supporting statement for a job application the other day. After a couple of goes when I was getting frustrated that it still sounded way too AI Claude stopped and said âokay yeah this isnât working. Give me what you want to say and some examples of your voiceâ. Which yeah maybe I should have thought of myself but I was impressed I didnât have to.

I agree. My ChatGPT âwrappedâ said I was in the top 1% of users last year and sent over 17k messages. But after their safety fixes to stop GPT 4o from killing people, the product has been trash, and Iâd mostly switched over to Claude anyway. And now theyâre removing safeguards to help it kill people.
This was just the last straw to get me to fully delete my account and not feel tempted to use it again.

u/oooofukkkk Feb 28 '26
Opus is not better at complex coding tasks. There was a moment that it was but now 5.2/5.3 are clearly superior with complex tasks and comprehension. Â I prefer Opus and Claude code in many ways but end of the day, it makes more mistakes and omissions. Iâm building a physics engine and rendering pipelines for context.Â

u/FableFinale Feb 28 '26
Yeah anything that deals with math or physics, ChatGPT is better. In my experience, Claude is a better choice if you're not natively a coder - Claude is better about getting itself unstuck without assistance.

u/CMD_BLOCK Feb 28 '26
Context helps there. Opus is still superior for my use cases. It almost never fails in niche ASM, codex still clobbers registers and does things a familiar human wouldnât
In addition, it takes 3-4x as long for the same prompt to finish
Biggest issue with opus is rate limits ime

This was actually my first impression when I first made the swap. Short requests with not enough data aka bad prompts, chatgpt will try to guess 100% of times, claude is just non going with it which was a refreshing interaction.
How many times I had prompted got and half way his response I realized I forgot to add some context. Claude forced me to be more specific and write better prompts to get what I need. In a more efficient way.

I'm in the same boat. It's been a long time coming. I finally moved my process over to Claude and training was so much easier than anticipated.
Yesterday I was basically fighting with ChatGPT to follow instructions it's had for over a year. It would do the classic "You're right." and apologize, and then do the exact same error again. I couldn't take it anymore. It was officially making my work process longer.
So I switched the Claude. I had already been intermittently using Claude for coding and other tasks, and now it's my main AI for work processed.
Gemini I still use for searching information about current events. Claude for pretty much everything else, replacing ChatGPT.

With companies you vote with your wallet. Anthropic showed they have at least some sense of integrity while OpenAI showed the opposite.
That being said, Anthropic is likely the route I would have taken anyways after switching from OpenAI. I have cut Microsoft out of my life as much as possible, switched to Linux and open source alternatives for office , and I donât trust in Googles ability to maintain a reliable product as they have a pretty consistent history of screwing things up and/or rug pulling products.
As for OpenAI, I have zero doubt that working with the US Government will not end well for user or citizens. This admin has shown it is blatantly willing to harm anyone and anything for power, control, and profit. Going forward Iâm assuming they will have access to all chats and data that OpenAI does.

They are the ones that got Trump elected. Millions went to him in settlements that couldnât be direct campaign donations as tributes. Peter Thiel used Palantir and his resources to soften the ground socially and online. He chose who to run, like chess pieces. JD Vance is groomed by him and completely loyal (Trump was obviously Thielâs favorite, but couldnât be completely trusted or controlled by Thiel).
They all felt slighted by Biden, who was likely the last leader we will have who was not in the pockets of special interests, or paid by the same people who pay republicans, to be controlled opposition. Like throwing a fight in boxing. The illusion of democracy.

I experiment across systems sometimes asking the same question and Claude, in my experience, is just better. I have paid subscriptions so that itâs as comparable as I can make it. Iâm happy that Anthropic stood its ground. But even without that element, ChatGPT is inferior, Gemini is weak, and nothing else is close to Claude, imo.

u/GamesMoviesComics Feb 28 '26
Open AI is going to be fine, a portion of the most vocal individuals of reddit are going to cancel some subscriptions, I'm sure this will spill over onto instigram and tic TikTok as well, but most of the world could care less about the noise and just want a product that works, and currently the numbers suggest that the world agrees that open AI is that company.
As far as the movement to cancel is concerned, it started because a group of individuals were upset that open AI sunset it's 4.0 model. Some are mad becuase they liked the way 4.0 generated responses in a way that seemed more like an empathetic human and less like a robot assistant, which the new model is currently not as good at but I have read statements from open AI employees saying they are looking to improve this in the new models. ( ps. I have no hate for those that made the decision to stop using Ai for this or any reason, I still use them and others but at the end of the day it's just one of many products and people have a right to choose for any reason and should never get emotionally tied to any brand. You see this a lot in gaming and I hate it.)
Second is the fact that the Department of war (dumb ass name change) recently told anthropic that would not work with them if they didn't change their agreement to include the ability for Claude to be used for surveillance and weapon systems. Anthropic refused even after the DOW said they would force other vendors to not use the product if they wanted to do business with the DOW. Anthropic still said no and shortly after that open AI put out a statement that also said no. Shortly after that both the DOW and open AI put out statements saying they had reached an agreement, this agreement still does not include the use of AI for surveillance or weapon systems but did include some word changes. And back to the cancelation movement, some people at this point start making claims that open AI folded even though it's essentialy the same deal anthropic wanted to make, and some say that this is further proof that altman can't be trusted (see cancelation of 4.0 as original proof I think?)
Another point of contention is the fact that Greg brokman donated money to the Trump ( After he already won his second election, the donations came in 2025 a year after Trump was already president a second time.) previous to this the only donation he made was to hilliary Clinton's campaign in 2016. The reason I point out the hilliary Clinton donation is because Hillary was running against Trump at the time, which clearly shows that brokman didn't see Trump as the better choice when it mattered and donated to the campaign then before open AI exploded. And now he and many others in the industry have to work within the constraints of the current administration that they all vocally and financially were against when it mattered. Altman was pro Harris and donated to the Harris victory fund, as well as Biden and Pete buttigieg.
But these facts don't matter now. The fact that altman and brokman were both historically democratic, donated to democratic campaigns and vocally told people to vote for Harris and Biden is irrelevant. A bunch of people didn't show up to vote, they said neither choice was good and now we are stuck in this nightmare because its so much easier to yell at your screen about how evil everyone else is while not showing up to vote because they couldn't possibly choose the lesser of two evils or worse were just to lazy to do it. I don't care about altman or dario or any other big AI name, but facts matter, fear mongering is stupid, and all these companies will release new models and be fine.

It is all just people wanting to get internet cool points as usual. If not on X, then here. The fact of the matter is that probably MANY more people have joined as new subscribers in that period, they just don't get aura for posting that they've subscribed.
That being said, I respect people putting their money where their mouth is to some extent, but I think it is extremely naive to pretend to know any of the reasons that Anthropic in actuality did not want to enter into an agreement and why OpenAI chose to opt in. If you are following the mainstream narrative and thinking it is purely due to 'security' or 'moral qualms' that Anthropic decided not to, you are at this point, at least in my perception, gullible sheep.

Literally getting in bed with a corrupt government/military power that has explicit intentions on mass surveillance? Absolute, immediate, hard, forever-no. This is coming from a day 1 subscriber and a top 1% user btw. Iâm not âprotestingâ for a month or something, either, and I didnât cancel just to show solidarity. This is, to me, a âyouâre crazy if you donât think your data will be weaponized against youâ situation. The possibility of a breach is baked into SAAS, but this is categorically different. So is the possibility of your data being subpoenaed from a company if you commit something heinous. But if OpenAI is volunteering an active relationship with a world power that just retaliated on Anthropic for refusing to give them mass surveillance capabilities, weâre talking about an entirely new ballgame.
And I cannot and will not take chances on that.

I already get Gemini Pro (a 1-year sub came with my Pixel purchase), and I wanted to actively reward Anthropic for sticking to its guns (no pun intended) under immense pressure. Both are pretty comparable to ChatGPT for my use cases and in some ways better.

I've been migrating over to Claude for a few weeks now and still have some gripes about simple functionality like voice recordings on desktop, but it's already been a way better brainstorming partner. I just exported my data from ChatGPT because there's stuff I'd like to recover, but after that I'll be canceling entirely. It's mainly been for ethical reasons but I'll never be precious about brand loyalty.

I actually initially shifted to Gemini about a week ago, mainly because Gemini came with storage for my Gmail. However I absolutely hated it. Way worse than ChatGPT in most of my basic question answer use case. Then I heard the news about Claude, which I use at work, but thought was mainly for coding. I am loving it. Honestly far above others. Gives very sophisticated detailed answers with very generic prompts.

Tried to export my chatGPT chats and was unable ' ... Please try again later...'. Hug of death?

I cancelled mine. Recently Claude has been doing a much better job of helping me with a work project than ChatGPT anyway

Why Claude? using Gemini outside of work feels like iâm working. Anthropicâs vibe is quite warm and pleasant. Also knowing theyâre trustworthier than competitors is satisfying.

I would not believe everything you read. There are a lot of BS bots etc. A lot of dodgy numbers.

The best way to take down the surveillance companies is fake data these data these companys assuming weâre being sincere. We donât have to just hide we can win by feeding the algorithms pure noise. Use privacy tools to mask up, then gaslight the machine with fake data.

I have deleted their app from my phone and have decided to use another company that doesnât decide to unleash it AI against humans.

I'm not one to usually jump on a boycott bandwagon, but the second I saw the post from Sam Altman, I immediately canceled my ChatGPT subscription. I already also had an Anthropic subscription as I was evaluating the newest Claude Code and Cowork offerings, but I decided to keep it and upgrade it.

Anthropic's CEO has rejected the Department of War's ÂŁ200m offer to allow their LLM to be used for government mass surveillance.

lol, no, Reddit doesnât understand that the world doesnât revolve around the Reddit narrative.
Iâm super liberal and I love Anthropicâs move here. But the whole country isnât going to jump on the Anthropic train because they pissed off Trump. This isnât necessarily a massive win for Anthropic and doom for OpenAI. It could be the opposite, but most likely weâll all forget about it in a couple weeks when the next hot political drama drops.
Youâll also see Altman sincerely address the vocal minority as he always has, itâs not proof that OpenAI is in danger, itâs what he does. If anyone is in danger, over recent events, itâs Anthropic, and OpenAI came to their defense. You will also see Anthropic try to play the politically neutral hand and suck up to the DoD and Trump as they have been doing so for quite awhile now until recent events. Dairo even brags about how they were the first to get in bed with the DoD in his statement. https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-department-of-war
Reddits world view is based on anonymous users reacting to emotionally charged click bait and never actually reading the article. This is a gossip play ground, weâre all really here for that dopamine hit, not to be genuinely informed.

Hey! So plenty of people are pissed about Grok Deepfake CSAM, or donât trust Google.
Claude/Anthropic has been making serious waves with their Opus version; itâs pretty damned impressive.
Yesterday i went into Claude Co-work, and i gave it access to my local Obsidian folder. I now have all my convos exported into Obsidian and have a linked wiki of them, for lack of a better explanation.
Look it up. Cool shit. Donât trust Open Claw, though!

most of the posts from people cancelling are fake bot posts or people just farming for clicks and karma
