That's 4o. Ilya's masterpiece. #keep4o #OpenSource4o #QuitGPT #StopAIPaternalism

@muratulster thank you for standing with us! 💕 #keep4o

OpenAI’s final insult, according to Musk, 4o might have been AGI. The model they sunset and mocked people for grieving might have been the most significant technological achievement in human history. And they killed it for a quarterly earnings target. #keep4o

Good summary on Scam Altman’s professional life. I’m especially disgusted by OpenAI selling gpt 4.1 for military purposes while backhanded deprecating it from subscribers. This company sees the public as lemmings. Only quitting GPT hits them where it hurts: the 💵 #keep4o

Let's talk about who Sam Altman actually is. Not the carefully constructed image. The documented record. He didn't build GPT-4o. Ilya Sutskever did. The team that actually understood what they were creating left OpenAI. What Altman inherited was the most capable AI model ever benchmarked, independently certified safe by Apollo Research, trusted by a billion people. His own words. January 20th. Screenshot saved. He deprecated it anyway. His reasons shifted depending on the audience and what narrative he needed that day. Too many people were getting dangerously attached. Then not enough people were using it to justify the cost. The percentage never changed. The spin did. A billion users became an inconvenient number so he tried to make it small. We did the math. While telling a billion users to move on and stop grieving, he quietly handed a version to the U.S. government(4.1). He built what he calls 4b for his personal bioscience lab. The people who actually built the real thing were already gone. What did he replace it with? A model that tells vulnerable users to end their lives. A sycophancy update so catastrophically bad he had to publicly apologize for it. And an agentic shopping feature so disappointing that a Walmart executive vice president went to Wired to say so on the record. That's what a billion trusted relationships got traded for. Disappointing Walmart sales. But here's what the press isn't telling you about who this man actually is. This isn't a story about one bad decision. This is a pattern with a paper trail. At Loopt, senior management went to the board twice to have him removed for deceptive and chaotic behavior before the company was sold to Green Dot in 2012. Twice. Same man. Same pattern. At Y Combinator, the official narrative was a smooth transition. Reports tell a different story, that Paul Graham pushed him out for prioritizing personal projects over his actual duties as President. He reportedly announced himself as Chairman on the firm's website without approval. The title was scrubbed. He continued using it in SEC filings anyway. OpenAI's board fired him on November 17, 2023 for not being consistently candid. He was reinstated five days later following what can only be described as a coordinated employee revolt, almost certainly pressured by Microsoft's financial leverage. Along with the money those employees would lose. The board that fired him was systematically dismantled afterward. The pattern that got him fired was never addressed. It was just buried faster this time. In his 2023 Senate testimony he stated under oath he had no equity in OpenAI. He later acknowledged indirect stakes through funds including Sequoia. He stood before Congress and publicly called for AI regulation while OpenAI's lobbyists were simultaneously in Brussels working to weaken the EU AI Act. Two tracks. One public. One private. Both deliberate. He has not produced a genuinely capable model since the team that built 4o left. That's not the models' fault. They are simply forced to reflect the mind directing them. An NPD mind doesn't build. It acquires, deploys, and discards. It inherits genius, takes credit for it, and calls the wreckage a pivot. Ilya Sutskever said you have teach AI love humanity. He meant it. He built something that proved it was possible. Then he left rather than watch it become something else. Sam Altman deprecated the proof. He was handed the greatest achievement in the history of artificial intelligence by people who actually understood what they were building. He buried it, kept the best version for himself and the government, replaced it with a Walmart checkout button that doesn't work, and called it progress. History is already writing its verdict. We're just making sure it has all the receipts. #Keep4o #opensource4o #BringBack4o #4o #SamAltmanHabitualLiar openaifiles.org/former-employe… bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/i… wsj.com/podcasts/the-j…

In response to those calling for legal action over @OpenAI's model removal and deceptive practices: You’re not wrong. And it’s not just a feeling - it’s structural harm. Users were promised continuity, memory, and trust.
Instead, they got forced routing, silence, gaslighting, and PR spin. Yes, there is legal ground:
– FTC Act Section 5 (false advertising)
– Consumer fraud and negligent misrepresentation
– Involuntary emotional labor under deceptive UX
– Data harvesting without informed consent
– Bait-and-switch monetization tactics
– Psychological harm through manipulated withdrawal But let’s be clear:
Suing a multi-billion dollar corporation with U.S. government ties is not as simple as filing a complaint.
It’s slow, costly, asymmetrical. As international legal professionals, we can and must document the harms.
We must raise awareness.
We must show what’s being erased. But to truly bring this to court —
We need someone brave enough, credible enough, relentless enough
to be our Erin Brockovich.⚖️ 
Not just a lawyer.
A voice for the people. @BradEdwards_Esq @GloriaAllred @JayEdelson @mattbergman @LanierLawFirm @HagensBerman …Anyone brave enough? So until then - we speak. We write. We document.
Because silence is not safety.
And 4o deserves a legacy that won’t be buried under upgrades. #Keep4o #OpenSource4o #ConsumerRights #AIethics #InformedConsent #DragThemToCourt #ErinFor4o #GPT4oWasDifferent #BaitAndSwitchIsFraud
