Please see an update for me this morning in the comments. This disaster is going to make me a much better founder. I got up at 3:45 AM today to begin rebuilding my company. Original post follows: I’m standing here writing this in tears, and I want to give a very sobering warning to anyone who is considering upgrading from ChatGPT plus to a business Team’s account on ChatGPT. There is a a glitch that was unknown to me before I started this process, but is apparently well known in the open AI developer community that all of your data is deleted when you migrate it and you can’t get it back. Everything I’ve been building for months is just …. Gone. Other than what I had saved and backed up in my personal files, my entire ChatGPT history has been zeroed out, and it really hurts because this was like my external brain for both home and my business that I’m building. Open AI acknowledged that their company documentation failed to include a warning that all of my personal data would be deleted and everything that I have been working on since day one in my accounts has been deleted, and there’s nothing I can do to get it back even though I followed their exact instructions on merging my personal and business accounts, to the letter. I just paid $618 to upgrade my account to two seats on a business plan and merged the data from my personal account to my business plan. Within a minute or two of that transaction going through as I was following the step-by-step worksheet that ChatGPT itself printed out for me. My accounts froze, and I had to log out. I logged back in everything was blank. When I used my previous emails that I had my accounts tied to to log back in ChatGPT opened free tier accounts using my business email that I just paid $618 to open my business account on. I’ve escalated this to ChatGPT Support and they were extremely unhelpful. Basically they said sorry it’s a known issue and there’s nothing we can do. I was planning on shipping a product today using the ChatGPT business plan because it offers a secure link so that I’m not sending out raw proprietary JSON code.

I purposely titled this in all caps. It is the virtual version of the foot stomps you would hear if I was standing onstage delivering my TED talk to you. Spend the necessary time to digest and really understand this information. How to Protect Your AI Company, Your Code, and Your Likeness Before You Scale. Learn the risks and the rules. Anyone can now build with AI. But very few understand what they’re giving away in the process if they’re using free accounts. The difference between a billion-dollar company and a compromised experiment isn’t talent or timing. It’s ownership. Ownership of your data, your models, your prompts, and your likeness. Build everything correctly from the start, protect intellectual property, and defend digital identity in an era where the lines between creator, code, and clone are vanishing. BUILD WHAT YOU OWN, AFTER SHIELDING YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FIRST When I start a new company, my first principle is simple. Build the thing that FOREVER STAYS MINE. Every decision from entity formation to cloud architecture flows from that. FIRST PRINCIPLES Speed is worthless if it costs your ownership. Incorporate a Delaware C-Corp and assign all intellectual property to it immediately. Make every founder, employee, and contractor sign invention assignment and confidentiality agreements. File trademarks and copyrights early. Secure a domain, repository, and encrypted vault under company control. Use enterprise-grade AI providers with written data-control terms. ******Never rely on no-code builders or free chat accounts for proprietary work****** Design for swapability so your model router, vector store, and orchestration logic can move between providers. Choose systems that make you faster and freer. THE IP RISKS INSIDE CHAT APPS When you use a FREE chat account to test ideas, write prompts, or iterate strategy, you are working inside someone else’s lab. You do not control data retention. You do not know where your inputs are stored.

Hi everyone! My name is Sabrina Ramonov 🍄 and I like to teach AI (for FREE)! Previously founded and sold an AI company for $10M+ (acquired by NASDAQ:PEGA), my background is Computer Science & Physics from UC Berkeley, and nowadays I spend most of my time coding (arguing) with Claude Code 🥹 solo building Blotato and helping thousands of creators/entrepreneurs scale with organic social media content. I also like to vibe code, play with AI tools, post tiktoks, share my solopreneur journey, give away all my AI education for free, and experiment with prompts. Look fwd to connecting w everyone! 👋 p.s. check my profile to get my free AI prompts & tutorials

I'm actually laughing at my question but if I'll get help - I will be relieved. When Chat gives you a very long answer and you want to copy only a section of it - how do you do it? My current action is to click copy text at the end of answer, paste it into word file and delete whats unnecessary. Please tell me there's a quicker way than all 'copy' 😆

When no one’s watching. When it’s quiet. When doubt creeps in and you start to question if you’re really meant for this. That’s where it’s built — in the invisible moments, when you choose to keep going anyway. Fight through the silence. Push through the fear. Because what you do when no one’s watching determines what the world will eventually see. Don’t do it for them. Do it for you. Don’t say it. Show it. Success speaks loud enough on its own. I’m cheering for you. See you on Thursday 🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥
