I think that there's a much bigger market in being able to have sexually-explicit conversations with a persistent AI persona, and it seems that OpenAI want a chunk of that.
r/textingtheory on the other hand shows texting and sexting mastery and high elo require serious hard work.
It’s clear it’s impossible to educate the masses. Might as well feed into their delusions and fears. Whether it’s traditional religions or social media addictions or lifestyle type shit. Maybe there’s a subtle universal way to get as many people onboard without being explicit or having them change their current ways.
It hurts my brain though to dumb it down… room temp IQ is a hard life.
Calm down, L Ron Hubbard.
tldr: people have been thinking about this stuff for a long long time and all their answers boil down to not trying to control everything that happens in the universe (cuz its a guaranteed path to suffering), but to find ways to live and flourish despite all the things we can not control. And there are many ways to do that.

Can't wait to upload my recent utility bill in order to ask questions about sexual health.
OpenAI will now be profitable.
There is a vast quantity of training material. We can only hope that AI has been trained on a well-curated set, the best of it and not all of it.
> it's so sad to hear users say, 'Please can I have it back? I've never had anyone in my life be supportive of me. I never had a parent tell me I was doing a good job.'
As much as I question whether Sam Altman really feels for these people, I’m think he must be satisfied that this is what he controls - a mainline into people’s souls.
I guess it’s emblematic of the sad state of American capitalism - based more and more on rent extraction it seems, and even less on building good software - to see how quickly ChatGPT is jumping the shark.
