OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

This is the AI bubble’s end game:

“when AI has infiltrated work processes to the point that exit costs are prohibitive, the customer base will be unable to escape and coerced into paying up. The world will be hooked on AI, and the tech firms will collect handsome profits.”

And sure enough, OpenAI just announced it would be introducing ads to ChatGPT.

Good thing @mbogen.bsky.social & I wrote about the incentives this would create for AI companies, and how those incentives were likely to shape the user experience. TL;DR: it's not great!

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Grok's issue is far, far worse than "put a bikini on her." There are huge groups of people on Telegram making it do far worse, then sharing how they did it. It truly is a nonconsensual sexual abuse material machine:
