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.

Yup. Bezos broadcast his intention when he hired Will Lewis— someone with no morals, who literally destroyed evidence in criminal investigation.

And down they go, the UK tabloids. The Fail lost 0.8% in September and MoS 1.4%. The Reach titles Mirror and Sunday M are in free fall with losses of 3.5 and 3.6%, respectively. Daily Express and Sunday Express, also Reach has 2.5% and 3.4%. Print makes more money than digital.

“When confronted by falsehood, we need to tell the truth, of course, but we need to focus on truths bigger than a fact check: truths about network dynamics, the history of polarization, and the formation of political identity.”

Facts are an insufficient response to falsehoods
