to be fair we also got Stephen Hawking bungee jumping | snowboarding | wrestling | drag racing | ice skating | bull-fighting | half-pipe

To be very fair here, a long time before gpt-5 porn was already being produced with stable diffusion (and other open models). Civitai in particular was an open playground for this with everything from NSFW loras, prompts to fined tuned models. I had to work for a bit with SDXL models from there and the amount of porn on the site, before the recent cleanse, was astonishing.

  Yes, Sam A said that "erotica" was coming to openAI. I don't think he's mentioned visual pornography though https://www.axios.com/2025/10/14/openai-chatgpt-erotica-mental-health https://www.axios.com/2025/10/14/openai-chatgpt-erotica-ment...

I can't imagine the republican party is going to be particularly happy about AI being used for mass porn generation

  prompt records = mass blackmail generation

  The party of grindr-crashing sexual repression[1] outwardly denounces such depravity, but inwardly rejoices at all the shameful images they intend to generate. 1. Red states are way ahead on porn consumption, based on past annual reports by Aylo.

Porn has driven everyday tech. Online payment systems, broadband adoption. Porn (visual and written erotic impression) has been a normal part of the human experience for thousands of years. Across different religions, cultures, technological capabilities. We're humans. There will always be a market for it, wherever there is a mismatch between desire for and access to sexual activity. Generate your own porn is definitely a huge market. Sharing it with others, and then the follow-on concern of what's in that shared content, could lead to problems.

      Works for me. You end up travelling for a week away from your partner, they're sick for a while, etc.

      I, uh, have a friend, who tells me watching porn with their partner once in a while, can be pretty hot.

You either believe what people report, the clearly-stated position on erotic material of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (1), or you can just imagine in your head what you think other people’s sex lives are like and just believe whatever you come up with. 1. https://www.aasect.org/our-mission.html https://www.aasect.org/our-mission.html

At least the valuations make sense now. ;)
