Enpornification
They completely nerfed Chat GPT, @SwapMarket complains, and it makes sense, because now that consensus starts to form that AGI is still a decade away (at least), OpenAI needs to switch evergreens from nerd emulation, to... no, you didn't see this one coming... porn emulation. OpenAI will allow verified adults to use ChatGPT to generate erotic content, shared by @south_korea_ln (#1258011 by @suraz). The main skepticism over the KYC aspect aside, Sex robots are here… and it's ok was shared by @carter.
@nkmg1c_ventures shared that Wikipedia Is Getting Pretty Worried About AI. They aren't worried about the future prospect of personalized porn though, but that they're getting less humans visiting their website. Perhaps, in a few months, PornHub will be Getting Pretty Worried about AI too.
Trust the bot?
@Scoresby shared The simulation of judgment in LLMs, underlining that the LLM response you see is (often) not a result of an actual thought process, but just a simulation of the result of that process. @jakoyoh629 shared Civic Education in the Age of AI: Should We Trust AI-Generated Lesson Plans?, and perhaps we could, but how do we know that the lesson plan your kid's teacher is AI generated? @0xbitcoiner shares a solution; Proof of Humanity: Certifying Human-Originated Content in an AI Internet, then at least trusting the bot remains a choice. The question remains though: why should we care? We'll be replaced anyway.
Bounty time!
@Alby posted a bounty for creative stackers: Explore the intersection of Bitcoin & AI and earn a bounty for your innovation! Getting paid to LARP and then vibing it into a video: isn't that a dream gig?
