Over the last few weeks, OpenAI's ambitions of enhanced productivity, personal growth, and accessible learning have been replaced with a social media (SORA) platform that lets deviants create their own mini-Stile Projects and the promise of reduced safety barriers to unlock some "sexy time AI" capability that will absolutely give every edgelord an expeditious way to fulfill their own Rule 34 fantasy.
This is a company that has already been sued repeatedly for some of the most mentally manipulative violations you could imagine, not to mention valid concern that it's bone-easy to trick it into sharing personal chats.
In other words : OpenAI has reached its death spiral faster than even I anticipated, primarily thanks to human-centipede like financial promises and no way to "ethically" (if you make a ridiculous leap of faith and consider rampant copyright infringement "ethical" in the first place) fulfill them.
At least in the case of OpenAI the pop of this bubble was inevitable. And while some people do seem to get.. something postive.. out of ChatGPT, those numbers seem to be decreasing rapidly as more research is done and more people see it in action. Hell, even the damn CEO is stating publicly that it can't be trusted. Not surprising, since more and more experts agree that this ain't gonna get any better when money is on the table.
Oh - and even if it ever reaches perfection, what happens if an overreaching government agency wants to get its talons into your ChatGPT logs? Sam also believes ya likely cooked my guy!
I had a long winded rant in the chamber tying this to other examples (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc) that attention whoring, political point chasing, and attempted monetization of everything has any remotely decent website on the internet completely imploding in on itself, but I'm honestly completey assed-out about things like this lately. Don't get me started on how bad most news sources on the internet is these days... but hey! At least we still have Wikipedia.. right? RIGHT?
