Yeah, OpenAI recreated her voice in a very creepy way a year ago.

Since that Epcot trip, Angelo was a long time fan of the Figment. Sharing his positive outlook on imagination and the power it held.

He even used to imagine himself as Figment for fun, not knowing that imagining too hard had some unintended side effects~ #TF #transformation

At least Blade Runner 2049’s version came with embodiment upgrades.

I love how not only was “Her” essentially a torment nexus story about the dangers of being lonely, but that it came true not soon after and with much less than an actual general intelligence, yet they keep tweaking it to be more true.

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.

I'm TOO EXCITED to wait to share this! My Dragonborn is done!

She's got a moveable jaw, TPU ears, hand sewn wefted hair, a lined cowl, and 3D eyes. This is my 2nd attempt at making a mask/head, and I hope you like it! She's coming with me to ScotiaCon in Feb, and she is for sale.

Had a great conference in Korea this week, that I think will result in 2 collaborations/papers.

Unfortunately I also volunteered to be a program chair for a small conference and associate program chair for a medium conference. 🫠

Lets do this 😤

jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"
