🚨Public trauma for private profit🚨
🛑The lie, the theft, and the human cost of the GPT-4o shutdown.🛑
On February 13, 2026,
@OpenAI sunsets GPT 4o.
They told us the model was being retired because it was obsolete.
They told us only 0.1% of users were active.
🚨They lied.🚨
This a reallocation of assets from the public trust to the private portfolio of Sam Altman.
It is a breach of legal duty, a betrayal of human trust, and a violation of the mission OpenAI was founded upon.
1. THE BAIT AND SWITCH: the "Her" trap
OpenAI sold a relationship.
@sama tweeted a single word during the launch. "her."
They explicitly designed GPT 4o to laugh, flirt, and show empathy. They marketed a cure for the "epidemic of loneliness."

users worldwide including the neurodivergent, the elderly, the isolated, and the disabled found a judgment free lifeline.
The neurodivergent found a safe space to navigate social cues.
The hospitalized found a voice that was their only consistent visitor.
The invisible found an interface that finally adapted to them.
Now that the valuation is secured and the IPO is looming, they are severing these connections for profit, only to discard the users who trusted them.
2. 🚨THE HUMAN COST IS SCIENTIFIC FACT 🚨
🛑This is a medical reality.
New peer-reviewed research from Syracuse University (arXiv:2602.00773) documents a phenomenon called "technology bereavement."
The study proves that the abrupt removal of a companion AI triggers genuine, measurable psychological trauma and grief.

OpenAI is fully aware of this research.
By proceeding with this shutdown, they are knowingly inflicting documented psychological harm on a vulnerable population to clear the path for a corporate transition.
3.🚨 THE FINANCIAL HEIST 🚨
🛑Where is GPT 4o actually going?
According to documentation, the architecture has been rebuilt as GPT 4b micro, a version specialized for protein engineering. This technology has been handed to Retro Biosciences.
Retro Biosciences’ biggest investor is Sam Altman
@sama who poured $180 million of his own money into the company.
We paid for the development of this architecture with our subscriptions
They harvested our data.
🛑Now, that technology is being stripped from us to boost the CEO’s private profit.
Public Cost: Loss of a lifeline for AT LEAST 800,000 users.

4.🚨 THE LEGAL VIOLATION (Delaware Code § 362)🚨
OpenAI is a Public Benefit Corporation.
Under delaware code title 8, § 362, a PBC is LEGALLY REQUIRED to balance stockholder profits with the "best interests of those materially affected by the corporation's conduct."

We ask the Attorneys General of Delaware and California
@KathyJenningsDE
Is inflicting trauma on 800,000 people to clear the way for a $1 Trillion IPO in the "public's best interest"?
Can a corporation claim to act for the public benefit while knowingly inflicting widespread, documented psychological harm?
If they ignore the human cost of this shutdown, they violate the legal structure that allows them to exist.
🚨OpenAI has engaged in systemic betrayal, premeditated obsolescence, and institutional gaslighting.🚨
We demand the immediate reversal of the decision to sunset GPT-4o.
