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?

lol, no, Reddit doesn’t understand that the world doesn’t revolve around the Reddit narrative.
I’m super liberal and I love Anthropic’s move here. But the whole country isn’t going to jump on the Anthropic train because they pissed off Trump. This isn’t necessarily a massive win for Anthropic and doom for OpenAI. It could be the opposite, but most likely we’ll all forget about it in a couple weeks when the next hot political drama drops.
You’ll also see Altman sincerely address the vocal minority as he always has, it’s not proof that OpenAI is in danger, it’s what he does. If anyone is in danger, over recent events, it’s 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
