Kind of reeks of desperation. And, given what’s been alleged about him personally, it seems odd. Is this something MS is on board with?

If so, it's a clever strategic move as they know that most of their competition will struggle to allow such a policy because they can't move so fast on such morally loaded topics like OAI.

Because AI bubble is based on companies spending a trillion dollars on AI, not porn.

"Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools" Huh? Quite the statement when there are still people out there having parasocial relationships with chatbots. This problem is going to get exponentially worse when the chatbots can start to get sexual.

Especially given this[1].

>> "ChatGPT is trained to direct people to seek professional help," such as the 988 suicide and crisis hotline in the US or the Samaritans in the UK.

>> The company acknowledged, however, that "there have been moments where our systems did not behave as intended in sensitive situations".

You have to pay some respect to sama. Imagine this move done by Google, Meta, Amazon or Microsoft: It won't happen.

I find these takes so odd. Porn is the early adopter of EVERY technology. When non-linear editing software was invented in the 90s by Avid, who was the first industry to use them? It might not be advertised, but it's true. Porn leads the way. lol. This is no different.

Yeap, it's started... https://www.johnlennox.org/shop/24/2084-artificial-intellige...

FYI: Christian worldview

Full quote is this: "The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A book that is written to challenge all readers, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence–based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity."

Does 'the Christian worldview' invalidate any conclusions the authors may present?

OK, and what's the problem with that specifically? I presume they will use more sophisticated methods for age assurance than "I'm 18". Besides, people are using LLMs for exactly that for ages (including Claude and ChatGPT), so the only difference is that the non-NSFW behaviour will be better (less crippled). Win/win. No? Why?

> Besides, people are using LLMs for exactly that for ages Hey! How old are you!?

5+ years is definitely "ages" in LLM context. It was a thing way before GPT 3.5 (obviously, as this is humans we're talking about).

Typically not a good sign when a company resorts to selling porn. Didn't work well for Tumblr, not working well for Twitter, maybe AI is different.

What do you mean? It was banning porn that didn't work well for Tumblr. These models have always been very capable of writing erotica, and consenting adults using them for that purpose is clearly something that should be allowed by default, within the bounds of legality.

I assume that the porn industry will not agree to consider the training material as fair use. And this industry has quite a lot of money for good lawyers. In this respect, we will see on what basis the quality improvement in the relevant content is to be achieved.

Always a new account with some snarky neo-luddite reply, as if Google, or Facebook, or Microsoft, or Amazon, doesn't already know everything there is to know about you. I mean, come on. That ship has sailed at least two decades ago and this kind of conversation simply isn't productive imo.

This is a ridiculous attitude, exactly equivalent to 'if you've nothing to fear you've nothing to hide'. In practice different geographic localities (e.g.: EU, California) have far different (and improving) limits on the personal information that can be stored by companies and how it is used. Various forms of online hygiene, from ad blocking to VPNs, to anonymous email accounts are likely utilised by the hacker news…

> This is a ridiculous attitude, exactly equivalent to 'if you've nothing to fear you've nothing to hide'.

Quite the contrary. My attitude encourages one to actually solve problems that we are encountering today, and not to fight battles that were lost two decades ago, which was the main thrust of my argument.

Also, as someone born in the Eastern Bloc, please allow me to throw up in my mouth at a publication that unironically cites the Communist Manifesto.

Why desperate? There's clearly a demand for it.

He literally said on the August podcast that they wouldn’t do it because it would be a short-term gimmick. As I type, CNBC (who pumps them every hour of the day) is talking about how suspicious it looks.

If we assume that on the podcast he presented a well reasoned opinion based on competitive analysis and public sentiment and whatnot, which is a big if for this guy, then I'd ask what changed? If he's truly desperate now, why wasn't he 2 months ago?

Maybe he just looked at their analytics and saw that everyone is trying to have virtual sex with it?
