Day 3 of boycotting FFmpeg (they use AI)
HandBrake for conversions, yt-dlp for downloads, VLC for playback. It’s so easy. I’m never touching FFmpeg again.
Did you know?
ChatGPT models are named after their respective water consumption!!
GPT-3.5 — 35 gallons/prompt
GPT-4 — 40 gallons/prompt
GPT-4o — 45 gallons/prompt (!)
GPT-o1 — 100 gallons/prompt (!!!)
GPT-o1-pro — 200 gallons/prompt (!!!!!)
Was promised a refund the same day the delivery was made
A month later was asked for a police report
Then they said I have a history of returns and my account has been flagged
Then they said my use of gift cards for a portion of the total was in violation of ToS
ALL LIES
Fuck Amazon
Won’t give me a $1200 refund for a missing item even though I have an unboxing video and police report
I spent 2 months talking with support, escalating, and even tried BBB
Never had an issue like this before. Chargeback initiated. Ready to lose my 7yr acct.
The past month of watching tech folk encounter anti-ai sentiment for the first time in their lives has been entertaining
I’ve been trying to sound the alarm for like 2 years that normies hate AI
Or similar, a couple months ago when @hankgreen's audience got mad at him for using chatgpt to research topics for a video.
Like... what? Asking ChatGPT questions is grounds for cancellation? But doesn't everybody use them? I'm so confused.

@KentonVarda These people believe AI is unethical -> using AI is unethical -> you are literally a bad (maybe even evil) person for using AI and you deserve to be publicly shamed and “cancelled”
@KentonVarda Sure, but… “Asking ChatGPT questions is grounds for cancellation? But doesn't everybody use them? I'm so confused.”
No, everyone does not use them, because they believe it destroys the environment, human creativity, etc… which they have been saying for years (unfortunately).
