Was answering a text and accidentally recorded 8 minutes of silent clicking and typing as voice memo. Listened to a little bit of it and strangely poignant...

Oh 100% I'm not particularly careful about what I put in correspondence but that's one thing I put my foot down about early on and refused to ever do and it's only looked smarter as time has gone on

Lots of stuff about whose marriage I think is weird, but pretty light on the overt white supremacy all in all

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.

if you were allergic to bees it must've fucking sucked to get stung by one in like medieval times, you're dead - but for the bees it must've been incredible. Talking about it back in the hive like "that drone was a fucking lion"
