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.

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