ChatGPT Uninstalls Surge 295% After DoD Deal? Boo-Fucking-Hoo
Oh, for fuck’s sake. Users are throwing a collective tantrum because OpenAI decided to spread its legs for the Pentagon, and now uninstalls have supposedly surged by 295%. Apparently, you precious little snowflakes just discovered that your precious chatbot might help the military optimize logistics for blowing shit up in countries you’ve never heard of, and suddenly you’ve grown a conscience? Give me a fucking break.
You’ve been gleefully using this thing to write your shitty cover letters, plagiarize your children’s homework, and generate passive-aggressive Slack messages for years. But the moment there’s a whiff of defense applications—oh no, can’t have that! Time to uninstall in protest! As if uninstalling an app makes you Gandhi instead of just another performative tosser who thinks digital activism counts as morality.
Let’s be crystal fucking clear here: OpenAI sold out? No shit, Sherlock. That’s what happens when you pump billions into a company run by a man who looks like he moisturizes with the tears of discarded interns. You think Sam Altman gives a solitary fuck about your ethical quandaries when there’s a defense contract on the table worth more than your entire postcode? The DoD pays in cold, hard cash, not Reddit karma and indie game recommendations.
And here’s the punchline: half of you self-righteous uninstallers will be back within a fortnight, crawling back on your hands and knees when you realize you can’t write a coherent PowerPoint presentation or debug Python without holding the robot’s hand. You’re not principled; you’re just temporarily inconvenienced by your own hypocrisy. At least the military is honest about wanting to kill people efficiently—you lot just want someone else to do your thinking while maintaining plausible deniability.
Back when I was running the server room in the 90s, I watched a luser uninstall his antivirus because it “interfered” with his Limewire downloads of questionable Scandinavian cinema. Two days later, his box was farming crypto for some Bulgarian teenager and he had the gall to ask me to fix it “ASAP” because he had a presentation. I formatted his drive and told him it was a “security feature.” Same energy here—you don’t care about ethics, you care about getting caught giving a shit.
