Either we’ve given up on solving the Riemann hypothesis or the critical strip is about to cross an undefined boundary condition.

It has occurred to me that the erotica promise means that they're likely returning to using all the fan fiction they scraped; hope you like omegaverse!

it’s because you want paying customers to try and fill the financial chasm (especially those that don’t need mega huge expensive context windows) not because you have a commitment to free expression

ChatGPT will become sexual from December for adults who request it

ChatGPT Will Become Sexual From December for Adults Who Request It OpenAI has announced that as age controls are more widely implemented for its AI chatbot ChatGPT, verified adults will be allowed to access erotic content in conversations starting in December. The company said it is developing a system to automatically detect when it is interacting with a teenager or minor, and will automatically apply restrictions and block content not suitable for the user's age. OpenAI says it intends to uphold its principle of “treating adult users as adults,” so as age controls are more fully in place, ChatGPT will behave less restrictively and provide access to erotic content for verified adults. CEO Sam Altman posted on X that the aim is to launch a new version of ChatGPT with a personality closer to what users liked in the previous GPT-4o model. In addition to age controls, the company has been introducing safeguards to prevent harmful behavior by users with mental health issues, such as reducing the assistant’s flattery in GPT-4o or applying safeguards in mental health crisis situations. “We know this made it less useful and pleasant for many users without mental health issues, but given the seriousness of the problem, we wanted to fix it,” Altman said. The company says it has mitigated the “grave mental health problems” and that it has new protective tools to safely relax restrictions in most cases. As a result, in a few weeks OpenAI will roll out a new version of ChatGPT that can respond “in a very human way,” use many emojis, or behave like a friend if users want, and will even allow erotic conversations for verified adults.

If you're having virtual sex with a chatbot that is a product of a corporation aren't you in some sense having sex with the corporation and giving it this tremendous hold on you/dependency on their protection of your privacy (but they know all your secrets). Who wants to have sex with OpenAI?
