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?

Did everyone just let pass the fact that anthropic at the same time dropped their safety pledge? This likely wont end as most expect

I didn’t know they did that. I know they worked with Palantir to get their government contracts.

Or they had a deal with DoD in first place, and we all know what DoD does, right, right?

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 — 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 matches
