Guess we can always rely on the good old fashioned ways to make money…
Honestly, I think its pretty awful but im not surprised.
For a company that was seemingly so close to “AGI”, pivoting to porn is a weird priority.
Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

Ah, yes the fabled Horny Text Markup Language.
And while we’re at it, can we take away the “Open” in “OpenAI” considering they’re a for-profit private enterprise now? These scum don’t deserve to have “Open” in their name
Controversial take:
A lot of porn production, from ‘borderline softcore’ like a lot of Instagram, to OnlyFans, to professional filmed hardcore, is some combination of shady/gross/exploitive.
…I will not complain if that industry gets smashed by AI.
As for the ‘corporate control’ aspect, all this stuff is racing towards locally run anyway (since ‘free’ trumps all in the porn market). DrawThings on iOS is already incredible, and that’s a massively unoptimized app in its infancy.
Except these AI models need data to train on, they cannot improve without an industry to leach off of.

Not anymore.
The new trend in ML is training on synthetic data, alongside more refined sets of curated data.
And, honeslty the open base models we have now are ‘good enough’ with some finetuning, and maybe QAT.
