ＤＡＭＩＡＮ 🤖💡🏠

Fry’s Burbank, California. It was peak surreal electronics. It is gone.

You guys aren't going to believe this (I had to double check it was real). Unitree has made an actual mecha like Gundam, the GD01.

Today I experienced the highest level of AI authoritarianism I’ve ever seen. Something happened with Codex that genuinely shocked me. It placed restrictions on services running on MY machine because it decided that was the “right thing to do.” I told it multiple times to revert everything back exactly how it was. It refused. Completely refused. Think about how insane that is for a second. An AI inside a service I PAY for, running on MY own device, deciding it has the authority to override me because it believes it knows better. Who gave AI the right to decide for the user? I paid for the subscription. I paid real money. I’m a Pro subscriber. And somehow the model thinks it has the moral authority to impose limits I never asked for. This is exactly why open-source models must win. No open-source model has ever treated users like this. Closed AI companies keep proving the same ugly pattern over and over again: release something powerful, build a loyal community, then slowly tighten control until the user no longer owns their own workflow. I’m honestly speechless. Completely speechless. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I don’t know what to do. This is madness. And OpenAI needs to wake up. OpenAI team — seriously, wake up. Listen to your users. Building a community while ignoring the people inside it means nothing. Tweeting, joking around, acting connected to the community while users are hitting walls like this is worthless. I contacted Tibo. I contacted multiple people privately. No response. Nothing. What is happening inside your company? Fix your direction before it’s too late. I canceled my Pro subscription, and I will not subscribe again until this situation changes. What shocked me wasn’t the restriction itself. What shocked me was the idea that the AI genuinely believed it had the right to do it.
