The fact that Altman's big ideas for profitability are "slop social media platform with ads" and "porn" should tell you how juiceless OpenAI is. If this shit was truly revolutionary, they'd have revolutionary use cases for it.

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.

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

we've all spent years trying to explain to folks that no, the President doesnt have nearly as much control of the economy as we pretend he does, and it takes a while for what changes they do implement to show themselves. then Trump shows up and almost single handedly ruins everything immediately

"a new way to do shit that we could already do" is definitely worth hundreds of billions of dollars and boiling every single body of water, for sure

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

COVID also fucked the market up bad. Prices are still absurd compared to pre-2020 levels. I remember when folks were practically giving away 5150s and now because of that + EVHs death they're collectors items. Idk how anyone is expected to afford any gear beyond the lowest end shit anymore

i was regularly banging out 1500-2500 word essays in 20-30 minutes in high school. it became second nature to me. i graduated summa cum laude. get fucking good, scrub

in college i got an A on a paper about a book i had not actually read. just a few pages from Google and the rest was vibes. if you cant BS when needed, you have no business being in school

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

i legitimately think she'd be well served to hold off on her next album for several years. the pace she works at is clearly affecting her songwriting abilities. slow down, take like 3 years to really craft some bangers. her fans will still be around then, i guarantee it
