I've just cancelled my subscription in solidarity with the OpenAI employees who signed the We Will Not Be Divided letter. I was a daily user of paid features like Deep Research. But not only was Anthropic's decision more ethical, their products are better, so I can't possibly justify the expense. Honestly I mostly was subscribed to take pressure off of my Claude usage limits, but I've just upped my Claude subscription to the next tier instead.

ETA: I've started an export of all my data. After that's done, I'm going to delete it all from my account (Settings > Data controls) and walk away from the account. I will give this to OpenAI, they make the process of disentangling yourself straightforward and there's integrity in that.

Curious—does it export memory and stuff? And how do you import it into Claude? Do you tell Claude "here is a data dump?"

I'm not going to import it into Claude, I'm not sure what I'll do with it other than pulling out some Deep Research reports I haven't gotten around to yet but was planning to read in the immediate future. I do think that would almost work - Claude presumably can't create "old" chats but I think pointing an agent at Google Takeout-style dumps makes these more viable as leverage to actually move away from these services. I think asking the agent to turn it into an Obsidian vault is probably the best bet?

I have Memory turned off so I'm afraid I won't be able to tell. I would guess so. The export hasn't completed yet either.
