Honestly, as someone who reported a very similar story in the last Trump administration, my main takeaway from this is that 251 slurs is lower than what I would've expect here given the volume of material. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Scene:

[Sam reads "Don't Create the Torment Nexus". Sam builds TorNex3000. Sam is miffed so many are anti-TNex3]

The Ethically Aware: Sam, what was the book title again?

Sam: Oh come on! What could go wrong?

TEA: Everything.

Sam: 🙄

*ten days later*

Sam: Whoops, it ate the children. Sorry.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create the Torment Nexus

I legitimately don't understand this. There is so, so, so much porn on the internet right now, almost all of it featuring real humans. Do we really need to throw the uh, engine that is secretly powering the entire US economy behind "make more porn but make it computer and with wrong # of fingers?"

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.

A media gig for James Franklin would pay much less than another coaching job, meaning Penn State would be paying a lot more of his buyout.
