A female OpenAI executive who raised concerns about the upcoming ‘Adult Mode’ - which lets you sex ChatGPT girlfriends - has been fired for ‘sexual discrimination against men’

@peterbrown @GossiTheDog The theory is that the litigation is the protection.

The practice, not so much. This is why 'tort reform' is so popular in plutocratic circles.

@GossiTheDog It has to be really bad if you need to get rid of someone who did 4 years at facebook and 7 at palantir over their objections to your plan.

driusan@doomscroller.social

@muenchnerin@sueden.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social 4 years at Facebook, 7 years at Palantir, and still too much of a moral compass for OpenAI

@GossiTheDog An executive was fired for sexual harassment? Is there any info on what sexual harassment she allegedly committed, and what happened to believing victims of sexual harassment?

The articles say she wasn't the only person to raise concerns about dating chat bots, was anyone else fired?

Something about this stinks, beyond the "AI bad" and "woman can't commit sexual offences" slathered all over this comment section

@benroyce @GossiTheDog

Exactly.

There was a great piece on this in The Conversation (I’m sure there must be others too) - https://theconversation.com/most-ai-assistants-are-feminine-and-its-fuelling-dangerous-stereotypes-and-abuse-272335?utm_medium=article_clipboard_share&utm_source=theconversation.com

@GossiTheDog Barring access to female exploitation is "discrimination"... ffffffs.

megmuttonhead@mas.to

@GossiTheDog holy shit. Of course she has.

aapis@mastodon.world

@GossiTheDog well it's about time someone started discriminating against men

@GossiTheDog we have entered the bizzaro world

@kneoghau @GossiTheDog It does *not* say sexual harrassment it alleged sexual discrimination ( which would be discrimination on the basis of sexuality or possibly gender).

rowinspeez@mas.to

@GossiTheDog this actual workplace discrimination brought to you by the men who think licking a vulva is gay.

@benroyce @GossiTheDog Prediction: 90 days until those sexualized chatbots get racialized, too, with submissive language patterns that would make GwtW cringe

@kneoghau @GossiTheDog sex discrimination, not harassment.

You're absolutely right to point out that there's some imbalance between believing victims when they're men vs. women, but there is no allegation of sexual harassment here.

Of course sex discrimination has a lot of the same dynamics, but given the mountains of sex discrimination against non-men for which nobody gets fired, I think it's very fair to claim foul play here.

Also notable: The priors in "woman's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" and "man's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" look entirely different. Men do occasionally suffer sex discrimination but regularly benefit from sexism. Women face something like reciprocal odds of harms/benefits. Women sometimes make up accusations, but far more off their allegations are real than fake, yet few are acted upon, or actually see justice. Men also make up allegations, particularly against female bosses.

To my mind, the Baysian truth here is that a disgruntled & sexist male worker had filed a complaint, which higher-ups were ignoring as spurious, until it became inconvenient to keep her on due to her reservations about the unsafe sex app plans.

In 6 months the stories of domestic violence & suicide provoked by the ChatGPT adult app are going to come out, this woman knows that, her bosses know that, heck we all can see that from here in the bleachers...

@GossiTheDog Excerpt from an OpenAI C-suite meeting (I assume):

"Well, we've very nearly cornered the 'douchebag', 'moron' and 'complete loser' markets...but we need to compete with GrokAI for the 'irredeemable sex pest' market, too!"

rakowskibartosz@hachyderm.io

@GossiTheDog I heard about the ads in AI tools... do they think porn is going to pay for AI now?
What's next, Microsoft SexPilot?

@androcat @GossiTheDog These folks (the customers) were using ai to put themselves in pictures with Epstein. We already know what they believe they are entitled to. They show us every day that there's no nuance to be had.

androcat@toot.cat

@clarablackink @GossiTheDog And that is so clearly a concerted effort to undermine the rightful demand for justice against pedo predators.

@GossiTheDog
Can't discriminate against those wankers!
