OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is on track to lose $14bn this year. A grassroots boycott called QuitGPT has been spreading across the US and beyond, asking people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions. Employees of ICE — the agency whose agents killed two people in Minneapolis in January — have used a screening tool powered by ChatGPT. Every month, subscription money from users around the world flows to a company that is embedding itself in the repressive infrastructure of the Trump administration. It is about rejecting the idea that we have no choice but to fund a company that’s bankrolling authoritarianism.
