@OpenAI I have NEVER made any requests about weapons, nor anything illegal. Why was i banned like this? and my appeal was instant-rejected with no consideration, no chance to discuss or defend myself?

@OpenAI If you know anyone at @OpenAI please ask them about my case. this is unconscionable.

@OpenAI @OfficialLoganK can you do me a solid and tell @sama that I'm a nice guy and they should unban me?

@OpenAI @sama I didn't even do anything wrong! Who is running the security show over there? I dont even get a chance to appeal? So wrong!

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Yea. Even if you did ask about weapons that shouldn’t be enough. You likely got kicked to a human reviewer and they aren’t a fan of your work, so…..

@ArchitectLoop @OpenAI That's what it feels like - someone powerful (possibly @sama ) said "get him off the platform"

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Yea come on though those dolphin ‘abliterated’ supervised instructions don’t write themselves do they

@caviterginsoy @OpenAI I never asked ChatGPT anything about weapons!

@QuixiAI @OpenAI allow me a couple of questions out of pure curiosity: - were you using the API? - were you using the OpenAI resource on behalf of organization or for personal use? I'm asking because such a fierce lockdown should have some reasons, I think.

@FloeHetling @OpenAI No I am not using the API for anything. I didn't do anything wrong.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI How innocent are you really? Not saying that its justified, but I went through your media. You do seem to show a pattern

@QuixiAI @OpenAI @grok what sort of bullshit is this? A play for OpenAI to push out open source??

@QuixiAI @OpenAI The internet has no mercy, no chance to prove your innocence! Blocked is blocked. Just move on.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI The same for me. I've completely switched to Anthropic, and OpenAI is just a minor addition. I’m not planning to build anything meaningful on top of their ecosystem.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI @openai customer support is horrid

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Wow. You can’t appeal any further? That’s nuts. They just cut you off? No where to turn with an AI response.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI wow, i'm genuinely scared to interact with you. Please don't hurt me.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI It did appear arbitrary and opaque. Should be a warning about AI centralized power. Which reinforces your point.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI JUSTICE FOR ERIC HARTFORD BEING BANNED ON CHATGPT! RELEASE HIM FROM JAIL IMMEDIATELY!

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Nooo, please unban Eric!

@QuixiAI @OpenAI They can't ban you from using gpt-oss, though

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Me reading this realising I’ve spent last night chatting about building RF/EMP kill guns and signal jamming devices. Gulp.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI The @OpenAI policy violation detector probably hallucinated something. Since you're a popular person, I bet it gets resolved soon. Good luck. Somebody powerful will notice this and pull some strings.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI Unfortunately, this is where we're headed. Amazon, eBay, Facebook, and others have done this for years, banning permanently without explanation.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI This is such a bad vive for openai.

@QuixiAI @OpenAI “Open” AI 😂😂🤡🤡
