Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Folks, Sam's got a groundbreaking idea how to get more people to pay for the slop machine!

just repeating my reaction on bluesky here but "my AI partner died because of the updates" is a common complaint with ppl "dating" AI. altman absolutely knows who he's targeting when he talks about restoring personality in erotic settings, and it's people who are really not doing great
I guess we're moving into the "take advantage of the mentally unwell" stage of trying to figure out a way to make money off this shit, also known as the Gacha Gambit.
Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it pays off. (It pays off in human misery)
There's this magical thing called "commissioning a porn artist" Sammy Boy. I recommend trying it out for once - it gets you an objectively better result than throwing money into a planet-destroying slop machine, and its much cheaper too. You've done nothing but attack the human soul for the past three fucking years, you might as well give an infinitesimal amount of your undeserved billions to one of the millions of artists whose livelihoods you've been murdering.
(Seriously, I feel fucking insulted by this.)
But commissioning a porn artist is hard as they lost their payment providers and bank accounts, while the slop machines got off with a american authors only slap on the wrist.
