Summary
OpenAI will soon let verified adults access mature content in ChatGPT—including erotica and customizable personalities—under its new “treat adults like adults” policy. CEO Sam Altman said earlier limits were to protect vulnerable users but can now be safely relaxed. The move sparked backlash from figures like Mark Cuban and Vivek Ramaswamy, who warned it could harm trust and worsen AI-related loneliness, while supporters see it as advancing user freedom and personalization. In the headlines: Citigroup’s AI saves developers 100,000 hours weekly, Walmart adds AI shopping to ChatGPT, Salesforce expands its OpenAI partnership, Intel readies a new GPU, and Oracle will deploy 50,000 AMD chips.
