alt Hacker NewsExported all my chats and deleted my ChatGPT account yesterday. The current administration not liking you is the strongest signal I could possibly have to go all in on a particular company.

Are you able to view your chats through the .html file in the export? Mine are all garbled, like the JSON's not being parsed properly or something.
Asked for an export but still haven’t received the mail with the download link
Thanks, I had deleted the app from all my devices but not deleted the account. I have deleted my account now too.
I am in the exact opposite position — I am such an Anthropic hater (bc I’m forced to use Claude Code instead of OpenCode against my will) that I am now pro-Trump
(this is a joke, please forgive me for engaging in public wrongthink)
Eh, they are all morally indefensible.
Anthropic had no problems to do business with the current administration until now. Are we to pretend it was all for happy purposes until now?
Don't get too attached. We're witnessing capitalism in its most ruthless form. Any of these companies will discard their principles the moment it becomes existential.
Presumably, if a spouse requested being able to have access to your phone at any time for a spot check, and to vet every single outgoing call and text you made, you would still marry this person, because that’s pretty much what Anthropic was requesting. Go/no-go on a per project basis.
No reasonable self-respecting person would agree to that, that’s basically “my relationship with you is contingent upon your guilt, until proven innocent.”
Dear HN: I would like comments before additional downvotes, please, this is not fucking Reddit
If Anthropic changes course will you move to Gemini? If all models do, local llama I assume?
I canceled my subscription, but have not yet exported and deleted because I'm an idiot, and also because I'm not sure if deleting it will have any actual impact (is it a hard delete? Likely not, even if they say it is).
And I'm just trying to play out what happens if Anthropic, and Google (if they haven't already), capitulate. Am I just going to forego using the best models and suffer any repercussions of not having access when the people who couldn't care less if the military is using AI for illegal uses continue to leverage them? When I say illegal I'm talking about the surveillance-of-US-citizens red line Anthropic would not agree to. The autonomous weapon one I'm sure there are zero laws against and so that wouldn't actually be illegal.
