I’m convinced tho I must admit I was turned off by this post (and the associated quitgpt.org) opening its case by Brockman’s contribution to MAGA. And that’s saying something cuz I dislike that movement a lot.
But I really think it’s much more partisan and controversial than it should be when the reasons that follow include being unprincipled about enabling authoritarianism.
If you want to get people to boycott GPT, tying them to MAGA is probably a good tactic. The US populace is unfavourable to Trump by a wide margin, and the rest of the western world hates him even more.
Remember, people need some level of active motivation to maintain a boycott: and we have seen how motivating the dislike of MAGA is. If you try and make an appeal that will not offend anybody, it will be a wishy-washy thing that motivates nobody.
