Just two months ago, Altman boasted that OpenAI hadn't "put a sexbot avatar in ChatGPT yet." Now, it announced that it will allow for that. AI companies are losing billions of dollars, and investors will likely have to wait for years to see a return — if ever.

Just a day after Gov. Gavin Newsom touted his signing of a series of bills to tighten restrictions on egregious AI chatbot interactions with minors, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman decided to announce the company's newest version of its chatbot - one exclusively for mature audiences.

Sam Altman is free to pursue his goal of using artificial intelligence to cure cancer after signing off on another apparent priority: allowing OpenAI to create pornography. On Tuesday afternoon, Altman posted to his X account that he has signed off on easing the restrictions on OpenAI, allowing ChatGPT to “treat adult users like adults.”

Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT will roll out more extensive age-gating, including a new sexual feature.

The "glazing" personalities in the GPT 4o update are coming back too, though Altman hopes they will be better this time around.

The founder of ChatGPT spoke with Rowan Cheung at DevDay 2025. Altman used the analogy of telling a farmer 50 years ago that a magical thing called the internet would create a billion new jobs, and that the farmer would likely not believe that would happen, as being similar to what is happening in the intelligence era.

OpenAI’s CEO brazenly regurgitated major studios’ characters to allow video app Sora 2 to spit out clips tailor-made for users. Insiders at the major agencies are alarmed — and some wonder whether the studios are doing enough.

Sam Altman says that they have planned to put out a "new version" of ChatGPT in a few weeks that allows people to have a "personality".

OpenAI will allow adult erotica in ChatGPT for verified adults starting in December, pairing looser rules with stricter age checks.
