For a company that was seemingly so close to “AGI”, pivoting to porn is a weird priority.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

Now, if you recall that whole hullabaloo where Hollywood was split into schisms, some studios backing Blu-ray Disc, others backing HD DVD. Now, whichever format porno backs is usually the one that becomes the most successful.

They want to create a fuck bot at the end of the day.

I doubt that OpenAI themselves will do so, but I am absolutely confident that someone not only will be banging on this, but I suspect that they probably have already. In fact, IIRC from an earlier discussion, someone already was selling sex dolls with said integration, and I doubt that they were including local parallel compute hardware for it.

I don't think that this is the one I remember, but doesn't really matter; I'm sure that there's a whole industry working on it.

Chinese sex doll maker sees jump in 2025 sales as AI boosts adult toys’ user experience

The LLM-powered dolls are expected to cost from US$100 to US$200 more than existing versions, which are currently sold between US$1,500 and US$2,000.

WMDoll – based in Zhongshan, a city in southern Guangdong province – embeds the company’s latest MetaBox series with an AI module, which is connected to cloud computing services hosted on data centres across various markets where the LLMs process the information from each toy.

According to the company, it has adopted several open-source LLMs, including Meta Platforms’ Llama AI models, which can be fine-tuned and deployed anywhere.
