About this episode
-OpenAI plans to stagger the release of its new AI model, and the first users will only be parties that are approved by the federal government.
-According to the office of California Governor Gavin Newsom, it's meant to serve as an "early warning system" for widespread job cuts due to artificial intelligence, allowing the government to proactively determine where interventions may be needed the most.
-NSFW activities account for "well over half" of Grok's traffic. That includes using Grok to generate actual porn, as well as "adult role-play chats" and "huge volumes of requests for erotica."
