Dear tech companies. Sexually explicit content is not harmful. Why are you all run by puritans? I don't even want to make edgy porn, I just want to be treated like an adult.

Generating sexually explicit content can cause reputational damage or have legal risk. Not generating such content is something that many developers are looking for. There is people who may want such harmful content and other players can cover such a niche.

They mean "harmful to us", not the users. It's harmful because they live an echo chamber of a single mention of genitals makes all the stakeholders run away. Why do they run away? Because they also have stakeholders, and so on.

Very cool to see two promising new LLMs on the same day (the other one being Reka Flash 3 21b) with open weights.

Now, bring on those multimodal LLMs with voice input and output please!

Doesn't yet work in LM Studio. Barfs an error when trying to load the model. (Error 6, whatever that means. Happy I missed the first 5.)
