Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism

As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

Yeeeah...so in order to #quitgpt...you gotta be subscribed to it first.

Worth noting that the campaign not only encouraged people quit ChatGpt, but also:

- encourage people keep going without
- encourage people to consider alternative services
- encourage alternative services to consider higher value for "the bottom" they're racing toward.

So while the campaign is aimed on those who subscribe, they're not the only group spoken to.

I saw David Shapiro(?) On YT the other day #quitgpt, he is one of the #Ai serious content makers... If he dropped it, it's a cause for me to take notice 🤔
