Tell HN: OpenAI saga – I cancelled my Poe subscription
I want to keep it short: As much as I liked Poe, I decided to cancel my subscription and I urge you to do it too.
At least until we hear word that Adam D'Angelo (Quora and Poe CEO) didn't exert his influence due to conflict of interest (with GPTs), I don't think it's okay to contribute to his companies. Quora was already dead, and Poe is just a wrapper around OpenAI's API. I only used Poe because OpenAI crippled ChatGPT-4 and made it dumber over the past few months. Poe was one of the few places where I could have access to the real GPT-4 (through API).
- alrs 3y agoCaring about SV board politics strikes me as deeply weird.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoThis sporadic activism only hurts the activists, and occasionally, as with road blocking, random people completely unrelated to the matter at hand. My advice is don't harm your service utilization, at least until we have clarity on the OpenAI situation. Why are you're in such a hurry to cancel Adam? Are you worried that facts may invalidate our reasons to be angry at him? We need to stop with this primitive knee jerk cancel mentality.
