Sexbots Are Coming to ChatGPT

So Sam Altman made a pretty long post[1] about how they are trying to bring "character" back into ChatGPT and ends by saying erotica is also up for grabs. Personally, I think that was a pretty roundabout way of saying we are not making enough money as we should be able to and hence we are opening up the p*n floodgates.

Pretty quick turnaround from about 10 weeks back [2]

Some questions:

- So AI safety is not a problem anymore?

- Real name user checks will start on ChatGPT?

- What do we think will be the major changes in society about this.

Simply delivering what the market wants. OpenAI is a business, they're not curing cancer, they're making money.

People by and large want people to solve actual fucking problems, have a safe society where people can access food & shelter and not have to live outside, where kids can get an education and pursue their dreams, not have more ads and attention stealing bullshit.

We could have solved so many problems in people's day to day using the money invested into this shit, improved standards of living considerably. Instead we're building more data centers to finish broiling the earth so that share prices go up a quarter of a point.

Maybe you should become a billionaire and steer society.

Only power and influence matter. Anything else is just noise excuses and complaints.

If you care so much figure it out.

Is it just a thing with AI that everyone has decided that morality, empathy, compassion and human dignity mean little? I can't live with myself if I lived a life of such shameless moral depravity - I don't think societies in general can even function in such a state.

The means to get power corrupts any who would wield it. Its is all one big great race to the top of an anthill? Wouldn't it be nicer if you could live in a world where your neighbor was doing well also? Zero sum mindsets lead to zero sum worlds.

Sheesh, so pessimistic... we're building data centers to solve challenging problems! Look into protein folding and such
