This is why I cancelled my chatgpt subscription and moved to claude. Its kinda silly, but I feel like the products are about equivalent for my use case so I'd rather do business with a company that is acting in good (better?) faith.
- mupuff1234 2y agoDon't think that's silly at all.
- the_sleaze_ 2y agoHope not - I haven't purchased a Nestle brand in years for this exact reason.
- rvnx 2y agoIn the case they don't get high salaries from this activity, there is also a solution. The next step in ~10 years could be to offer their services to governments to offer "automated court decisions". Then the people who funded / trained this "justice" out of their good heart, would actually have leverage, in terms of concrete power. It's a much more subtle way to capture power, if you can replace the judges with your software.
- UncleEntity 2y agoI guess they can get them to rewrite the US Constitution to remove that pesky "fair trial" bit and, since they would control the narrative, delete 1000+ years of common law. Brave new world, indeed...
- saagarjha 2y agoAnthropic pays their engineers pretty well. They're doing just fine, at least for as long as people are pouring money into their company. But that's everyone in this space, isn't it?
- rafram 2y agoThanks but no thanks.
- mostlysimilar 2y agoThat isn't silly, that's one of the only ways to exercise agency under hypercapitalism. I recently cancelled my Amazon Prime membership and got a Costco membership for the same reason. I don't get every product I want, but I'm also okay with that.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoThis has to be a meme. Costco is peak hypercapitalism lol.
- mostlysimilar 2y agoCould you say more?
- asdasdsddd 2y agoIt's a 500B company that undercuts everyone else with incredible efficiency, just like Amazon. It's an example of how capitalism can be great. If you really want to get of out of capitalism, you can just buy directly from farmers or grow your own food. The whole thing about no ethical consumption under capitalism is a just a way to enjoy the conveniences of capitalism on a moral high ground. It's totally doable, you just might not enjoy it haha.
- mostlysimilar 2y agoI guess the angle I was coming at it from is that they pay their employees a living wage. I need to buy toilet paper from somewhere, and between Amazon and Costco I would much rather give my money to Costco.
- asdasdsddd 2y agoThe secret is buying a bidet so you dont need to buy from either ever again!
