I have. I've also seen it happen for Uber, for someone who worked on the god mode project that went viral for being used at holiday parties.

Yes. I would. Trump is a uniquely dangerous president with uniquely unrestrained power.

I'll continue to write my representatives, publicly protest, boycott businesses and employers, and use all other legal levers of power that I can. My kids future cannot afford to let these crimes continue unchecked.

> Get your politics TF out of the office...

A large portion of our lives is spent at the office, with people we may not otherwise interact with. Former coworkers sharing their perspectives helped sow the seeds of my change in politics, both on individual issues and worldview.

It's childish to think life can be perfectly compartmentalized, like pre-K learning stations.

In real engineering disciplines, engineers sign their name to key decisions and if people get hurt someone loses their license and their right to do engineering work. The world would be a better place if software worked that way, although it'd be harder for a bunch of sociopaths to become billionaires.

Regardless, my point is that one dude canceling his $20/month subscription probably isn't going to affect anything, but it's basically all I can do.

Honestly I think these tech billionaires are very thin-skinned and they don't like people saying mean things about them, and I think a lot of them are completely unable to reconcile this simple fact: when you're a billionaire, you don't fucking get to have a normal life.

You didn't have to get billions of dollars of wealth. If you get into a situation like that, then yes your actions are going to be scrutinized more than a nobody like me. People are going to call you an asshole when you do asshole things more than when some random nobody does something assholey. You chose to be popular and powerful; if you don't like that then there's no law saying you can't get a regular 9-5 job like the rest of us.

The stuff that Altman mentioned seemed to indicate that they'll support the US government as long as the US government is following the law, ignoring the "if the president does it it's not illegal" mentality that this administration appears to be taking.
