Kevin BeaumontA female OpenAI executive who raised concerns about the upcoming ‘Adult Mode’ - which lets you sex ChatGPT girlfriends - has been fired for ‘sexual discrimination against men’
Jason Stuart@GossiTheDog ...wow... O.O
Mathieu@GossiTheDog you can’t make this shit up

Neil Moffatt@GossiTheDog Beggars belief. I hope she sues for entirely illegitimate grounds for dismissal.
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES‘sexual discrimination against men’ should read 'proper rejection of sex pests'
but ChatGPT sees monetizing sexually transgressive role playing as a lucrative market, and this executive stood in the way
they will make AI agent "women" who will act in ways that will prime MAGA chuds to amplify their harassment of women in real life. by creating not delusional expectations, but malignant expectations of how women respond to sexually abusive behavior
enshittification is a threat
Francisca SinnExactly.
There was a great piece on this in The Conversation (I’m sure there must be others too) - https://theconversation.com/most-ai-assistants-are-feminine-and-its-fuelling-dangerous-stereotypes-and-abuse-272335?utm_medium=article_clipboard_share&utm_source=theconversation.com
Bent Chinrest@benroyce @GossiTheDog Prediction: 90 days until those sexualized chatbots get racialized, too, with submissive language patterns that would make GwtW cringe

D@muenchnerin @GossiTheDog 4 years at Facebook, 7 years at Palantir, and still too much of a moral compass for OpenAI
aelfsige@muenchnerin @GossiTheDog I find the discussion difficult. Up to the summer, ChatGPT allowed consensual kink — the September update took that away, and „sanitized“ ChatGPT to PG13 mode.
I find the discussion about the Adult Mode difficult not knowing if that will even bring back the guardrails of the summer of 2025

Peter Brown@GossiTheDog in a country so litigious as the US how is it that employees have absolutely no protections whatsoever?
fuzzyfuzzyfungus@peterbrown @GossiTheDog The theory is that the litigation is the protection.
The practice, not so much. This is why 'tort reform' is so popular in plutocratic circles.
@fuzzyfuzzyfungus @GossiTheDog in any event depending on the court system for justice in employment is never going to work as an employer has a massive built-in advantage.
And the employee having lost their job, by definition has no money.

Alison Wilder@peterbrown lawsuits are like the new croquet for rich people here. Nobody plebes not allowed.
The Orange Theme@peterbrown @GossiTheDog The judicial system is primarily used to keep the wealthy, wealthy. If you're poor, you can either go to jail, become homeless (and then go to jail or die), or die.
Lyle Solla-Yates@peterbrown @GossiTheDog Neat trick, isn’t it?
@GossiTheDog It has to be really bad if you need to get rid of someone who did 4 years at facebook and 7 at palantir over their objections to your plan.
@GossiTheDog An executive was fired for sexual harassment? Is there any info on what sexual harassment she allegedly committed, and what happened to believing victims of sexual harassment?
The articles say she wasn't the only person to raise concerns about dating chat bots, was anyone else fired?
Something about this stinks, beyond the "AI bad" and "woman can't commit sexual offences" slathered all over this comment section
TygerKrash@kneoghau @GossiTheDog It does *not* say sexual harrassment it alleged sexual discrimination ( which would be discrimination on the basis of sexuality or possibly gender).
Tiota Sram@kneoghau @GossiTheDog sex discrimination, not harassment.
You're absolutely right to point out that there's some imbalance between believing victims when they're men vs. women, but there is no allegation of sexual harassment here.
Of course sex discrimination has a lot of the same dynamics, but given the mountains of sex discrimination against non-men for which nobody gets fired, I think it's very fair to claim foul play here.
Also notable: The priors in "woman's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" and "man's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" look entirely different. Men do occasionally suffer sex discrimination but regularly benefit from sexism. Women face something like reciprocal odds of harms/benefits. Women sometimes make up accusations, but far more off their allegations are real than fake, yet few are acted upon, or actually see justice. Men also make up allegations, particularly against female bosses.
To my mind, the Baysian truth here is that a disgruntled & sexist male worker had filed a complaint, which higher-ups were ignoring as spurious, until it became inconvenient to keep her on due to her reservations about the unsafe sex app plans.
In 6 months the stories of domestic violence & suicide provoked by the ChatGPT adult app are going to come out, this woman knows that, her bosses know that, heck we all can see that from here in the bleachers...
@kneoghau @GossiTheDog discrimination, not harassment
Androcat@GossiTheDog Barring access to female exploitation is "discrimination"... ffffffs.
Cat C-B@GossiTheDog holy shit. Of course she has.
RowinSpeez@GossiTheDog this actual workplace discrimination brought to you by the men who think licking a vulva is gay.
@GossiTheDog Excerpt from an OpenAI C-suite meeting (I assume):
"Well, we've very nearly cornered the 'douchebag', 'moron' and 'complete loser' markets...but we need to compete with GrokAI for the 'irredeemable sex pest' market, too!"
Bartosz@GossiTheDog I heard about the ads in AI tools... do they think porn is going to pay for AI now?
What's next, Microsoft SexPilot?

Jamie@GossiTheDog did they not learn from 4.0? I really hope the results of this won't be as fatal.

Joan of Contention 😷@GossiTheDog Forget economic bubbles, we have reached peak LLM-based generative-ai chatbot.
That's it.
The End.
Koos Pol 🇺🇦@GossiTheDog That's her FAFO moment alright. And I don't need a crystal ball to prophesize that it's going to be much worse.

LOL.
Persephone@GossiTheDog damn thats not a dog whistle, that's a fucking dog siren.
Petra van Cronenburg@GossiTheDog We should learn quickly that #TESCREAL #Techbros and #billionaires are declared enemies of women, girls, and all diversity - it is in the DNA of #fascists! It's the "culture" of Epstein bros.
AI is their instrument ... remember IBM working for the Nazis for the extinction of the "unwanted".

Hobo@GossiTheDog 🤮I as man (cis straight) feel seriously discrimated by a company that looks at us this way. I have absolutely no interest at all in ChatGPT offering any kind of sexual intercourse to me ⛔️
🌬️
@GossiTheDog breathtaking 
Jason Gooljar@GossiTheDog this is the Right's victimhood coming out of the closet again.
panu@GossiTheDog
Okay this sucks big time, but there's a silver lining: OpenAI going into porn biz. This means one thing and one thing only: AI business is about to crash.
Very soon.
I mean going porno has to be the absolutely last imaginable straw for any business about to die.
Jasper Thunderpaw@GossiTheDog oh of course, chatGPT will become a sexting bot
ferricoxide@GossiTheDog
More like fired for "trying to kill the only revenue stream we're going to get from this stinking pile that might sorta staunch our ledgers' hemorrhaging".

Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@GossiTheDog If somebody wants a robot gf or bf, they should use an open source LLM running on their own local machine. Otherwise some company can always "kill" your robot lover or change its personality.
Victoria🏳️⚧️@LordCaramac @GossiTheDog or just look around fedi
Volker Stolz@GossiTheDog What’s worse is that you can almost FEEL the vibe in that meeting where invariably someone must’ve cracked the joke “what, c’mon, you don’t like looking at d*ck-pics?!” 🤮 (PW;DR)
Fahri Reza 🍉@GossiTheDog incoming ban from Asian countries

OldDutchCap@GossiTheDog Yep. <sarcasm>Cause us white, straight men are so constantly discriminated against!</sarcasm>
Reay@GossiTheDog @Alison … furthering the likelihood that we’re living in a simulation that someone is just dumping crazy situation prompts into.
Artstories@GossiTheDog My god, those tech bros are nothing more than a bunch of spoiled little brats with too much money on hand. They are disgusting.
I don't know but I think we should finally stop pampering the rich. They need enforced rules.
