These are not good people.

Teen Safety is the Price of Admission for OpenAI and Its Peers | TechPolicy.Press The scrutiny facing OpenAI today signals that innovation on teen safety is fast becoming the price of admission for operating AI tools, writes Vaishnavi J.

Amidst legal challenges and press reports on the dangers of AI chatbots to teens, OpenAI has made multiple announcements about its approach to safety and new parental controls. Vaishnavi J unpacks what they say and considers how we can build AI systems that genuinely serve young users.

OpenAI is huge in India. Its models are steeped in caste bias. India is OpenAI’s second-largest market, but ChatGPT and Sora reproduce caste stereotypes that harm millions of people.

“The experience [of AI] actually mirrored society.”

OpenAI's new Sora video generator to require copyright holders to opt out, WSJ reports OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyrighted material, unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Ridiculous and appalling that Open Ai, amongst other GenAi companies, think they can dictate how THEY use OUR works.

No, Open Ai, it should not be authors and copyright holders opting out of your exploitative models. It should be you, Open Ai, asking authors and copyright holders to opt IN.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
