POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

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.

Don’t do it, Sean

ATLANTA -- The Buffalo Bills enter their bye week on a two-game losing streak after a 4-0 start. Coach Sean McDermott said after Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons that the team has to "start
from ground zero.”

[screenshot has been edited to underline the words “ground zero”]

I try to set this out in my Copaganda book. All royalties donated to charity that fights surveillance. Can use code TNP30 to order it directly from The New Press for 30% off, and also we have big bulk discounts and free copies for teachers and anyone in prison. Help spread the word.
