ChatGPT as a Utility
- When a platform like ChatGPT reaches a massive scale (one-tenth of the world's population logging in weekly), question whether it should guide users towards acceptable use cases or operate as a public utility allowing users to do what they want.
- OpenAI may view itself as a steward, allowing users to explore AI's potential without dictating moral rights and wrongs, reflecting socially libertarian views on adult choices.
- OpenAI is still a company with the right to choose its priorities and what it stands for.

- The risk isn't just about access to pornography but about the potential for new, poorly understood relationship patterns forming with LLMs, especially among children using older siblings' logins.
- These relationships could lead kids in many personal directions with unknown consequences.
- Mark Cuban believes that this move by OpenAI is a mistake that will hurt their business.
