> I don't understand how a company like OpenAI could be so reckless with user data integrity and access
I don't understand how one can have such a rosy view of OpenAI at this point after all the dishonesty, subversiness and shadiness we have seen in public. Transitive trust is an insidious thing, I guess?
And this one doesn't even sound particularly egregious, I could hardly call this evil.
Either shift down expectations of this company considerably or be disappointed again.
How about the unabashed raiding of the Commons? Scraping any and all websites over and over so fast that it kills small servers? Meddling in the government, lobbying for regulatory capture. Buying up enough future RAM production to quintuple prices for consumers and lock out competitors. All the copyright stuff. The shift from nonprofit to for-profit, the whole "open" part of OpenAI.
Or perhaps the extremely explicit promise to put all of us out of work forever.
Have you actually heard anything at all about this company from the real world?

What are you talking about? I haven't heard anything negative about them other than generic "things are changing" grumbling

Never forget Suchir Balaji.
The guy who runs it does not seem like the most trustworthy fellow. The whole Worldcoin debacle and all.
Even the people who like ChatGPT were quite unhappy about the sudden deprecation of 4o and replacement by 5.
On that note, there seems to be a pattern.
If anyone hasn’t googled “worldcoin” you really should. It will make your skin crawl.
Yesterday, I was searching and couldn’t find it either. Now it all makes sense!

But you didn't own it. You fell in love with a service that was offered at-will by one party, and then they left.
This is the fate of all services, some faster than others. Don't like it? Stop paying for subscription slop.
> Maybe worse is how much this lowers my trust in OpenAI
You had high trust in Open AI? I guess you missed many emails.
