OpenAI won't let some customers export their chats, but this tool will

The Register 1 month ago 28

OpenAI restricts chat exports for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise users while allowing them for lower-tier accounts, but a new free tool called Scrapemychats created by freelance journalist Conrad Quilty-Harper enables these users to download their conversation archives anyway. The tool works through a logged-in browser session and stores chats locally as an offline-browsable HTML archive, taking several hours to download a 600-chat archive due to rate-limiting. Users who export their data with the tool can now retain copies of their conversations if they switch to other AI services, though the creator expects OpenAI to patch the workaround soon.

Fed up with Big Tech, communities turn to data collectives for control

Rest of World 1 month ago 3

Communities are establishing data collectives and cooperatives to control their data rather than allow major tech companies to extract it for AI training without consent or compensation. Mozilla Data Collective hosts approximately 700 hours of voice data in 39 Pakistani languages and over 20 African languages, with Meta and other companies now negotiating usage terms directly with communities. This shift enables underrepresented language communities to build AI tools in their own languages while maintaining governance over how their data is used.
