This is absurd. They couldn't spare the 3 seconds it takes to go to fontawesome to find these icons??
The whole website was probably built by agentic AI.
I’d wager the entire page was vibe coded.
You can vibe code assets?
Yup
Jesus man I'm so fucking tired
Seems the site is made up of AI enthusiasts who just don't like Trump. At best, it's misguided. At worst, it's plain insincere.
They encourage you to use AI from Google and Anthropic, two companies which are evil like OpenAI.
Alternate corporate options include Gemini from Google and Claude from Anthropic.
People think ChatGPT is the only chatbot in the game... It's time to change that.
For those that don’t know Anthropic’s biggest investor is Amazon. They’re not some unknown tech company.
By people my ass...

All these boycotts I can't join since I never paid for them in the first place 😢
You were just boycotting before it was cool.
Honestly, people are probably going to start using it much less once they put in ads on the the low and free tiers.
They're realizing they can't turn profit over expenses when the VC money dries up without jacking price.
Same shit different fad. Offshoring was all the rage until the demand meant they started charging more, the quality went down, and the reality of cross-timezone management became obvious. Cloud was all the rage until the prices went up from demand and also kept running into outages, and now some companies are "re-inhousing" their infrastructure.
Cant' wait till they realize they also can't deliver at regular clip with only half the workers. Wont' be soon enough, alas.
Subscriptions? You idiots are paying for this shit?
Businesses do and try to get employees to use it... Stupid
Well the fucked up part is businesses also want to see how well their "investment" AI is doing, which means tracking how much employees use the AI and other cooked up metrics. You can't get away from it no matter how irritating it makes your job and life.
Its infuriating because now every single meeting is "BLARGH HOW CAN WE MAKE DA AI DO THIS? HOW CAN WE UTILIZE THE AI???!!!"
makes me want to scream.

If you thought the banks were too big to fail, get ready for this fucking bailout
Educational institutions are buying microsoft services as a trend and we need them to boycott also.
Getting bus pass in my university takes 5 business days so they can "save cost on students who don't use it."
Meanwhile everyone's student gmail implicitly has a subscription to copilot, gemini, and openai at the same time; it doesn't matter if you are using them or not.
Paid by our tuition no doubt.
not just chatgpt.
Stop using Amazon, Meta products, Netflix, Spotify, etc.
All of these massive corporations are actively making life worse for people, and it will only get worse and worse as people continue to stay subscribed.
The only option is to log off and find an alternative.
Google ?
Microsoft, Tesla, Twitter, Nvidia, Nestle...
... in fact, forget buying altogether.

Unsubscribe from all the things.
Except my VPN. You don't need to know where I live. And my IPTV.
Unless you're (not you PhoenixDog specifically, the general You referring to the reader) blocking your browser fingerprinting, using Ad blocker, DNS filtering from trusted sources, not using social media app, not installing apps that require Google Play Services and not using your credit card for digital payments then simply changing the IP address that the server sees doesn't do very much.
VPNs can be part of a solution but if you are not doing all of the other things then they do not hide who you are because of the plethora of other avenues that you can be tied to an existing advertising identity.
but be careful of which VPN provider you’re using. Mulvad is a good option

I just unsubscribed from my landlord
Off with their heads! GO self-hosted, go local... toss the rest in the trash can before this crap gets a foothold and fully enshitifies
LLMs are already shit. Going local is still burning the world just to run a glorified text production machine

People pay for subscription to ask AI?
I don't pay for AI. There is no real value in it at massive scale for it to be paid for me. Plus it is harmful. I can local host AI for small tasks like cleaning up some data.
Yep! I feel way, way safer when I use something running on my laptop as opposed to feeding things into the bottomless hole that is Microsoft or Anthropic.
All I want is something to double-check the verbiage of an email to make sure I'm not coming off like an asshole.
Also, why paying for AI? You can use it for free, and when you finish your free daily limit, you just switch to another AI: Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Le Chat, DeepSeek... rinse and repeat.
People pay for this shit?
Grok/Mechahitler owner likely has donated more to GOP/Trump rule. Anthropic CEO wrote an essay that outlined dangers of AI recently, but also underlined how the pure good US must develop Skynet to oppress all of the bad evil opposition to the US empire.
The entire industry is lining up to get US government military/surveillance applications to use the absurd level of datacenters/energy that are being committed to, because "Skynet now or China wins" is even more aggressive consensus than "too big to fail".
Yes agree, i have quit MSFT fully (switched to Ubuntu), Amazon prime is gone and no longer buying from them. Cancelled my Claude subscription, my gmail now auto forwards to my local server, switched my web hosting from AWS to Hetzner, Cancelled my netflix, back to library and jellyfin local server. Same with Spotify. No more Safeway or QFC - Costco is good enough and has the lowest prices locally, or occasionally Trader Joes. Its saving me a whole shit ton of money.
It blows my mind people actually subscribe to mostly wrong answers.
I kinda wish I'd been using it so I could quit!
I've been a long time user and subscriber of ChatGPT plus. It has helped me tremendously and I probably wouldn't be where I am without it.
I canceled mt subscription recently. I won't continue to give money to ClosedAI. There are alternatives.
Sam Altman can burn in hell.
