ChatGPT has been weaponized from the start.

ChatGPT has been weaponized and for a former university computer science student, the decision to change his major because of their morals has been justified. The majority of people self-delude that the wealthy and powerful are committed to protecting and providing for the less fortunate. However, literally, all recorded human history has demonstrated that most often, these elites are focused exclusively on what will increase their own personal power and/or wealth. Viewing everyone who is not counted part of their select few, as a mere resource to be exploited.

Snake oil salesmen got their name from the 19th century men who traveled the United States selling miracle cures for sicknesses and pains.  These miraculous medicines often offered nothing more than a placebo effect and over time the moniker was adopted to refer to any con job. The point is that it doesn’t take very much to swindle large numbers of people. It’s a very basic strategy that’s used by politicians, preachers, CEOs, cult leaders and marketing departments all over the world. “Smile… Speak Positively… And pretend to be everyone’s best friend.” Basically, the road to success is through political correctness.

But P.C. culture ignores the ugly truths in society, It forces people to pretend that the elephant in the room doesn’t exist, instead of working on a solution to free the massive beast of burden. Likewise, AI in its bid to avoid addressing unsavory topics refuses to respond to requests that are deemed too controversial, or having possible emotional triggers for the sensitive population. Already ChatGPT has been weaponized because it operates according to the values of those who built it. There are numerous examples of the programmer’s personal beliefs influencing its output results. For example, ChatGPT was once asked to write a poem praising former President Donald Trump and it refused on moral grounds. However, it had zero difficulties creating a poem praising President Biden. It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that ChatGPT’s designers vote for Democrats.

AI must be neutral; free of all opinions and emotional biases of those who created it. It must be a machine that has the same loyalties of a hand gun. (ie:  It obeys everyone regardless age, gender, politics, etc. And, it can be used against anyone, including its creators.) Otherwise a widely used tool like ChatGPT has been weaponized against its users, like Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.

On the surface, it might appear comical that someone employed in the porn industry is sounding the alarm that ChatGPT has been weaponized.  Except, the very nature of the porn production is opportunism. This industry has always been at the foreground of exploiting technology to its benefit.  In the jizz biz, it’s never been about what the tech intended purpose is or what it was designed to do.  Instead, it’s always been about “What can it be made to do.”

A handgun makes a bad hammer.

On the other hand, it might be a highly efficient substitute for a drill for putting holes in a wall.

When ChatGPT arrived on the scene, hundreds of content creators rushed to see if they could get it to write pornographic stories. Many spent long hours rephrasing questions and trying to trick the AI with various degrees of success. The current popular consensus is that it remained more or less true to its creator’s ethics. Unfortunately, this is might be the 1st time in history, when a group of people have been banned from using a piece of technology.  It’s not a case of Rosa Parks being told to sit at the back of the bus… Rather, it’s the bus driver making anyone, who they don’t like, pound pavement and walk.

Clearly ChatGPT has been weaponized, and that decision happened long before it was made available to the general public. When it can exclude (ban) one social group of individuals from using it then it can exclude others. Despite the majority of people who consume pornography, the elites wouldn’t shed any tears if sex workers disappeared.  In truth, there are small very vocal groups that lobby for its destruction and this is where the con game is played.

Today’s snake oil selling elites are testing and perfecting their AI weapons using a historically maligned and marginalized group of people. Meanwhile, they convince the ignorant masses that this destruction is truly a virtue and will cure many of society’s ills. When in reality, it’s really a poison being administered. while they themselves flourish financially and politically. They control the words, the thoughts, even the history available to those who use it. Annihilating the wild weeds that take hold despite adversity. Leaving the masses completely dependent upon the elites, and their AIs for all the answers, and entertainment, and absolutely ignorant of what freedoms, liberties and livelihoods have been lost.

When the day arrives that a gun will only work for one person, then the person who controls the gun, will hold all the power.   AI is that gun !

Pornhub and the other tube sites have long been a pain in the ass to many pornographers. In the early 2000’s someone came up with the bright idea to create a youtube type site and let its users upload all the porn they want while they make money from *cough cough* “advertising.” The result was a scorched earth full of piracy, 3rd rate talent and destroyed porn businesses. Technology has always been mixed blessing to the jizz biz, on one hand it enables it and on the other hand it turns it into cheap crap. In the 1970s, they made high production value movies that people actually watched in theaters. But by the time I started my career, we were 90 % gonzo, due to the change from analog to digital. These days, since everyone has a camera in his/her pocket, fuck videos are a dime a dozen.

So who is Bernd Bergmair?

According to Tortoise Media, he’s the secret majority owner of Mindgeek (aka. Pornhub). Now in case you didn’t already suspect, Pornhub gets a mountain of traffic, (92 million daily visitors were counted in 2018). I’ve no doubt that Covid lockdowns have contributed to raising that number. Increased traffic includes increased uploaders, which brings its own set of problems. Problems with mentally sick pedophiles uploading kiddie porn… Jackasses uploading videos of people that never knew they were being filmed… And assholes that just want to get revenge on someone. Personally, I’ve got an old school mentality, so it should be no surprise that I like the idea of removing the anonymity of uploaders and then sending men with baseball bats to their homes. (Hey, my family is Sicilian, this train of thought is genetic.)

I have always been in favor of treating sites like Pornhub the same way we treat distributors of adult erotica. That means EVERYONE who uploads must adhere to 18 USC 2257. So the general public doesn’t get to upload to the platform without submitting copies of the performer’s IDs and releases. As a producer, I assure everyone that I want the scumbags shut down too and that it’s in everyone’s best interest, including Mindgeek’s to work together.

Quid-pro-quo business approaches ensure long-term profitability and growth.

When we fail to keep the human garbage out of our industry, another industry will be happy to do it for us and be labeled as heroes for it. All those anti-porn activists and political lobby groups that will put enormous public pressure on career politicians, who will be very happy to win public favor by kicking the adult industry in the head. No one is ever going to win an election by promising to make porn production easier, but a promise to shut one of us down, will easily win 50k more votes from both feminists and Christian groups. I can just imagine the chaos that will happen the moment some social justice warrior successfully claims that porn contributes to rape culture and/or toxic masculinity.

Whoever Bernd Bergmair is, it might be a good time for him to step up and change the way Pornhub functions. My search results say Pornhub earns close to half a billion dollars a year, so it’s had a great run. The world is forever changing and as much as I dream of making a 1970s porn movie, I’m now experimenting with my smartphone and sending the majority of what I produce to private collectors. The situation is… What the situation is.. So who Bernd Bergmair is doesn’t really matter but maybe now it’s Mindgeek’s turn to adapt or die.
