The thing about non survey papers is that they can still be problematic/fake science etc, and arxiv needs a long overdue + moderated comments section

Yes! The Science/Tech/Cyber committee is doing really good work too. Well intentioned folks there trying to actually engage with researchers and industry folks. Love MA

I have started requesting that panel moderators provide a disclaimer at panels I am on that not all my opinions are provided by my employer. HF ppl largely believe in democratization of AI and open source, but we actually have intense healthy debates internally on edge topics! It's great :)

Huh, so interesting re: art therapy!
Re: The turning off adult content, this is already what Google does (SafeSearch on, off, or blurred, off by default). I do think it gives back agency to adult users without shaming sexual content from a puritan perspective.

This doesn’t quite answer what I’m asking. Currently there’s nothing preventing people from going to AO3, Literotica, etc. should those be banned too? What is it about porn specifically that seems to be the problem (as opposed to harms of personification/emotional attachment)

THANK YOU! That's the phrasing I was looking for and yes 100% want to hear from sex work experts on this!

Text by itself maybe less so but text in concert with visuals yes I feel

Fair, it also more specifically speaks to the need for better verification of the truth. I saw a demo recently where a system was developed to generate a fake nytimes article, complete with branding images, text, and sometimes generated images in the article which all looked believable.

But it isn’t clear to me that deepfakes will be allowed or that they’re even talking about non-text material. My read of the tweet was erotica as in fan fiction stories etc, but maybe people are reading this differently

Obviously, I don't have full context on what OAI will define as acceptable erotica and might have more refined views then. Still, it is a double standard to have universal content control on a generative model and not on, say, web search.
