In the presentation, counsel said that they only care about communications from, essentially, people in the university community like coworkers and students. I noted that legislators were conspicuously absent from the list and he noted that the case law seems to say that this would be “disruptive”

Oh, good to know that if a legislator threatens to defund the university if someone is still employed there, the university can fire them.

I expected to be grumpy and snarky about this, but the presentation is actually good.

LMAO - so this "amazing new technology: is gonna be used for ads, porn, surveillance, and giving the illusion of efficiency (so greedy bosses fire half of their employees), while burning the planet? It definitely makes sense that universities are pushing it into every ffing task 🫠 #ResistAI

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.

Time for Faculty Senate! We get to hear from university counsel about our "if we get a lot of emails complaining about you we can fire you" policy.

They will give them a “wallet inspected” card that they can store in their wallet. That way, the next wallet inspector will know that they’ve been inspected before.

And folks: if you're someone who might get fired for whooping it up, dancing, drinking, and having orgies in the streets when Trump bites it, please, stay silent and let those of us who are safe from such retribution whoop, dance, drink, and fornicate extra to cover for you.
