Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

Yea don’t. So much grim shit out there already.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 2d

If I was worth 10s of millions of dollars, last thing I’d be doing is searching my name on socials. I’d be skiing. Every day, just skiing and being nice to people.

Being mad at Ms Rachel is a pretty good tell that you're just mad that people care about Palestine at all— many such cases actually but in that context these people will die mad because people will always care

Feels like a solid one in every two Americans is either a cop kisser, a tattletale, or both.

I think I’ll probably write something about that prick that attacked me on here yesterday. The Man Who Singlehandedly Saved Journalism.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

How’s it feel being a snitch? Also, making a joke is not “talking shit”? Sycophant shit.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

give us another season of the wire then

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

Season 6 of The Wire: Most famous TV writer of all time searches his name on LibTwit and loses his shit at a genuine nobody who said a sorta mean thing about him online.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

I say that as an only sorta unwell fan of his

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

It’s all good. I’ll frame you calling me a slanderous rube on the wall, it’ll be a good story to tell at a party some day.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

He’s got a lot of really unwell fans too, damn

Listen I’m just gonna delete the post man, I don’t need the most famous TV writer in the world calling me a slanderous, ungracious, lying rube (nor do I need his sycophants doing the same). Probably watch the Wire tn too, fwiw.

Terrence Doyle @terrencedoyle.bsky.social · 5d

I’ll apologize for not including the breadth of your involvement in the eventual outcome (although I think I can be forgiven for not writing 10 posts explaining the OP), but I think it’s *naive* of you to think that saying as much in the initial moments of the process was somehow inconsequential.

That was real. It happened. I’m sorry that people felt a sort of way about it.
