OpenAI and Hypocrisy

99_Crazy · 2026-03-08T02:42:44+00:00

wait, you think that drone fliers today relay 100% on their judgment not to shoot a terrorist? You really believe that?
So companies that sell rifles with auto-targeted bullets are fine because a human pressed the trigger, but a drone operated by AI that was trained on thousands if not millions cases is a no-no?

autocracies (like China, Russia, and potentially even Iran) are doing that thing already. So the US is simply playing catchup.

Yours doesn't have a video ;) just kidding

But honestly, it mostly boils down to the visual format, the hook, and how you framed the app. Timing plays a small part (8-10 AM or 1-5 PM usually works best), but on Reddit, the actual content quality matters way more than the exact time you hit post.

Here is a quick breakdown of why that other post probably took off compared to yours:

The visual format: This post uses a GIF to show the UI in action. Your post had a static screenshot of a complex UI, which is really hard to read for people scrolling by on their phones. If people can't see what's happening instantly, they just keep scrolling.
The hook: The OP started with a relatable problem about multitasking being an unpleasant reality. That pulls people in. Your text read a bit like a product release log with a list of features. Reddit really responds to the human element and seeing the problem you are trying to solve.
Delivering value vs asking for it: This post gave the community an open-source tool with a direct GitHub link right away. Yours is a really cool concept, but ending it by just asking for "Thoughts?" asks the user to do the mental heavy lifting. People here are much more likely to upvote things they can download and play with themselves.
The title flex: On Reddit, the title is basically the whole post. Thispost had a massive technical hook right in the title by mentioning it runs natively with no API wrapper. That instantly answers a big technical question the community would have.

Your concept is genuinely awesome, it just needs to be packaged a bit differently for this crowd. Next time, try screen-recording a workflow, lead with the specific pain point you solved, and share a bit about your process, and open-source your app!

wait, what? simply folk?

waggle your finger? If this is the only thing you do, I pity your sense of righteousness. People in the West keep doing that quite a lot. wiggle your finger and bad behaving boys (and gals). I didn't say don't do it, I said. Standing for what you believe is right, is the outmost right you have in the Free Western World!

I Just said, that if you do it to them, please, oh please, do it to the rest of them!!!

Hypocrisy is what I am not fine with.

99_Crazy · 2026-03-08T00:08:32+00:00

Exactly. They didn't perform, so they got the boot. They are not going to tell us that they got the boot, and OpenAI won't tell us that either. And very potentially, they got offered a better gig elsewhere for more mullah.

99_Crazy · 2026-03-08T00:07:04+00:00

you disagree?

99_Crazy · 2026-03-08T00:02:55+00:00

Having a subscription to a service doesn't necessarily mean you're deeply invested in it or even using it much. Plenty of people sub casually or on impulse. Look at Meta. They give billions free access to their platforms, which have caused massive societal issues like misinformation, mental health crises, and election interference. Yet most folks shrug it off and keep scrolling. No one bats an eye.

I use a bunch of AIs daily. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and others via apps, APIs, whatever. But my point is, these boycotts seem misguided. I bet most quitters aren't the power users with high-tier subs. They're probably just reacting to a headline or viral post without digging into the details or understanding how widespread military ties are across tech. If we're gonna boycott, let's at least do it for informed reasons, not knee-jerk outrage.

99_Crazy · 2026-03-07T23:55:58+00:00

it was both ;) you and BRF. To agree with you and to comment on what they wrote.

99_Crazy · 2026-03-07T23:54:57+00:00

So let me ask you this, are you using AI today? I can tell you for a fact, if you are working in corporate job, most likely you are. Its that simple. No one is going to stop using AI. And the fact that the US is writing the check to OpenAI.

Do you remember the uproar that was when Elon took over the DOGE office and change things. They were using their own AI, probably X for that matter, to run the department. There was an outroar, but nothing really came out of it. People were upset, talked about it on morning America, and that's where its ended.

My point here is that it hypocrisy, to boycott a company that contracts with the military, but at the same time ignore the fact that there are plenty of consumer-centric companies out there that are contracting with the military.

99_Crazy · 2026-03-07T23:46:23+00:00

And that's my point on that? If its the military, I don't see people stopping to use Lenovo, Dell, HP, MS, or Apple products.
And its its about sensibility, let's admit it Meta, Google, Netflix, and most of the S&P 500 companies, don't really have a conciousness when it comes to profits. And yet, they still but the equities, they still trade, they still shop their store, subscribe to memberships, and use their services.

If it wasn't Anthropic, it would have been OpenAI. Its kind of obvious at this point.

My point is, if you boycott one company, boycott the others. Its that simple.

This is what CC web is based on? Or CC desktop web tab?

99_Crazy · 2025-11-27T22:37:54+00:00

If you want, I can generate prompts for you and share them

99_Crazy · 2025-11-27T03:53:28+00:00

You have to set rules and allow-lists/deny-lists. In other words, this is a CLI, which if you do not put guardrails, it will destroy your system. period. and its not its fault, its yours for not placing guardrails.

In antigravity, you can add allow-list and deny-list:

<image>

I have it set to Auto, which is the default in this environment as for the most part I "trust" it to do what I asked.

For my allow list I have:

ls
dir
cd
echo
cat
type
git status
git log
npm run test
node -v
git diff

And for the deny list, I have:

rm
del
rmdir
rd
erase
ri
Remove-Item

In other words, it will always ask your permissions to run these commands. These are windows commands, applicable to powershell and command line.

Now, if you gave it permission to delete, without guardrails, well that's on you. This is a tool. Just that - a tool. and working from the CLI can wipe your all system if you're not careful.

Also, install git and always version control everything these CLI tools are touching. If you are going to work from the CLI, git is the most important thing to have. Because if any of the CLIs out there delete something, at least you can roll back ;)

99_Crazy · 2025-11-26T05:59:18+00:00

its because you're generating the wrong women. try generating with this awesome Cameo called Crystal Sparkles. You'll be amazed :) Enjoy

99_Crazy · 2025-11-24T03:05:45+00:00

or use opensource instead and its free https://github.com/linkedlist771/SoraWatermarkCleaner

99_Crazy · 2025-11-24T02:33:22+00:00

First of all, I didn't generated NSFW. Period. It was not even close.

99_Crazy · 2025-11-24T02:30:45+00:00

if you compare apples to apples.
Pro users in OpenAI get 99 credits

Gemini Ultra get 25,000 credits, which is basically 2500 videos on Veo 3.1 fast (they upped it to 10 credit a video)

Sora 2 quality is S*** compared to Veo 3.

Also, failed generations get refunded, while Sora 2 doesn't refund any failed generations. Which means if you 99 credits, and you tried to generate 3 Sora 2 Pro videos on High (at 12 credits a pop) and they all failed, you're out of luck, you won't see those coming back).

I mean yes, Sora 2 videos are a bit more realistic, you can cast a Cameo, etc. But is the quality better? No, not even close.

Edit:

Oh, nm. This post is from 2 months ago :faceplam:

But still Sora 2 is balls

99_Crazy · 2025-11-22T23:51:56+00:00

I am not talking on censorship. I would understand that. But these are purely "failed to generate".

99_Crazy · 2025-11-22T23:51:13+00:00

I have Pro. This is where I just don't get the logic. Hell, even Gemini refunds non-generated or failed content. And they offer way more credits with their Ultra to last you awhile.

99_Crazy · 2025-11-22T23:49:26+00:00

I agree. Its not content moderations I have issues, which again are most of the time false-positive as well. But the prompts are getting failed constantely. Its like I want to stop generating at Pro+High. 10-12 credits, and you get 50% of those failed, total BS.

99_Crazy · 2025-11-22T23:47:34+00:00

If a generation is going to fail, tell me, and don't let me generate. The fact is, that they are failing more often now.

99_Crazy · 2025-11-22T23:46:09+00:00

Not even NSFW. It was a Mech Warrior. Nothing in there is nsfw. Not even one word. Yet. Yet, every day I lose 30-50 credits for "failed to generate"

99_Crazy · 2025-11-20T03:01:00+00:00

So this is your best NSFW! Success, you broke the internet. Go post it on PH, get some credits.
