Si je me souviens bien, dans le privé, le facteur limitant est d’abord le salaire de référence, calculé sur les 25 meilleures années, avec le fait qu’il faut 25 années complètes (sans interruption pour chômage ou congé maternité, par exemple).

Mais même si ce n’est pas le cas, ne rien confier de confidentiel à ChatGPT et autres est un principe sain. Surtout en ces temps où l’état de droit est remis en cause, même chez nous.

I have many worries about AI and 'advice' giving, but two pressing ones are how much useful information from advice columns, books, charities etc has been consumed and ruined to churn out harmful crap.

And how clearly advice giving has never been valued and continues to be devalued. Destroyed, even

I presume that orchestra people have vicious stereotypes about clarinetists that could be deployed here. I once heard three performers riff on violists for ten minutes and it was frightening.

I believe in body autonomy for all.

That means people can wear what they choose, be sexually liberated, be who they are, not be confined to restrictive social norms, have autonomy in healthcare, finances, and everything else.

And importantly, consent is a cornerstone of it all.

Wernher bon Braun famously said: “Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.”
And he was right. But I think that in modern academia, research is what I’m doing when the boss doesn’t know what I’m doing.

One of the funny things about chatgpt pivoting to porn is that Meta already tried that just a few months ago.

Zuckerberg made a John Cena chatbot that would sext with children.

Then, a few months later, Zuckerberg *did it again*. Same results.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

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.

Part of stuffing the press pool with cranks is they get to ask "will you do [crazy thing]?" and he'll give some version of "maybe yes" even if he's never thought of it before. Sometimes it then becomes real policy. They're not reporters there to influence the public, they're there to influence him.

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.
