"One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path."

OpenAI President Greg Brockman was the biggest donor to Trump's super PAC in H2 2025, donating $25M https://www.techmeme.com/260102/p10#a260102p10

Does it? Claude the chatbot is available for free, and it can write code, but Claude Code is a separate product that as far as I know is only available on paid plans. Source: https://claude.com/product/claude-code

We live in an era where attention matters more than reality. Chronically online CEOs are aware of this.

Om Malik has been writing about this recently, especially regarding OpenAI / Altman [1], but you can see it everywhere.

I shall take that as a no, then.

I don't think it takes pedantry to think advertising in order to solicit funds for a non-profit is still advertising.

If anything the criteria I would apply is does it diminish the user experience while attempting to motivate the viewer to act in a manner that benefits the advertiser.

May I ask why you do not consider it advertising? Is it because it is asking for donations? Because it is a non-profit? If so, why would those factors exempt them?

I am certainly not alone in thinking their fundraising campaigns are intrusive >>33175098
