    Which is an interesting take, because anything sex-related seems to be the only way to make money with AI.

      I hope the real reason is that they’re running out of money to try new features, but the stated reason isn’t so bad either: that they aren’t yet able to surveil their users fast enough. Hearing Worldcoin failing to function is nice.

        I think it’s about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.

        Yeah, i think they are already doing it as a pass-through with some other company.

        nVidia had announced that instead of 100 billion for nothing to OpenAI that they were doing 30 billion for stake, and said they were probably not going to keep giving these ‘halo’ AI companies money after this.

        I also saw a report that banks were starting to get a bit more stingy with money to the same companies.

        I think that while there’s still plenty of money coming in still, it does seem like the ‘take our unlimited cash just because you have AI in your name’ phase is wearing out and they actually have to try to convince people now.

        Which is a pretty big problem for them, as despite their brand recognition they aren’t really seen as the ‘leader’ in the AI space on any particular front.

        I think it’s that they are preparing for IPO, which means opening their books and being an attractive investment.

        Sora was killed because it haemorrhaged cash for each generation. Investors wouldn’t be comfortable with that still running in the books.

        This is killed because a respectable investment does sell porn.

      And WAR, because government’s love to burn tax payers money on useless sh*t

      They are probably licensing some bullshit to someone else.

    Porn won’t save ai

      I don’t think ai as technology needs saving, but the companies of the bursting bubble do. I love to see Altman struggle

        It’s hard to tell when he’s genuinely miserable because his face always looks like that.

      For the simple reason that is is REALLY cheap to make and monetize real porn.

      source
      • davidgro@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It’s really cheap to use a WAN model (or whatever the latest thing is) on my laptop to make porn without needing to find and hire a model, or even subscribe to an onlyfans. Also not paying OpenAI or anyone else besides the electric bill.

        I don’t think that’s going away, and I would be a bit surprised if it’s not already cutting into demand for the real thing (which I also think isn’t going away)

    Isn’t all this “OpenAI drops…” stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman’s recent statement that they’re going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.

    But if it’s lose, I guarantee they’ll Ministry of Truth that statement.

    source
    • XLE@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Their statement in this article has a half dozen different reasons for dropping the project. A suspicious number of reasons, and all of them sound more like excuses. You’re definitely right about the Ministry of Truth though, because this embarrassment has been in development since 2024.

      It’s cost cutting. They’re burning cash faster than they can raise it.

      One product

    • monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, very likely. I suppose the product focus will be government/military. They will get the AI find people to disappear or pick bombing targets. That’s apparently a profitable endeavor.

    God I hate that the younger generations use the word “drop” to mean both “cancel” and “release”.

    source
    • Squizzy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I dont think that is generational. Music dropped for generations and so did plans.

  • melfie@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’d think that custom AI-generated smut videos would be all the rage. It’s one area where the content being slop shouldn’t matter as much.

    Hey, look, that lady has 3 breasts. Aw, here comes Double Dong Danny to get some of that. Man, this is some fucked up shit. Grabs a box of tissues.

    source
    • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Genuinely curious if you’ve found a good porn site that isn’t already incorporating these. The ones I frequent have them already fairly regularly but they are heavily down voted and have an uncanny valley feel to them that is a real turnoff. Not at all “all the rage”

      source
      • melfie@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Not something I’ve actively looked into, quite honestly. Didn’t find the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum particularly arousing, so I assume it wouldn’t be my jam.

    Wait so the “original” was targeted at children specifically?

    Say goodbye to whatever miniscule revenue you were guns get there. The faster these fucking slop bots die the better.
