We joke about porn at ChatGPT, but it’s the most lucid financial move OpenAI has had in a long time

December 16, 2025 by usatoday24

There are people so hooked on AI who needs professional help to get out of there. Others they fall in love with one and even they cheat on their partners. In the midst of the debate about the effects of AI on mental healthOpenAI took a radical turn: would allow erotic content on ChatGPT. Porn on ChatGPT is on the decline, and it may be the push OpenAI needs to start monetizing its invention. adult mode. They count in The Verge A few days ago the head of OpenAI applications confirmed the approximate date for the arrival of this new mode. The adult mode was expected to be ready for this month of December, but apparently they do not have the age prediction system ready yet, so it will arrive sometime in the first quarter of 2026. Rudder turn. The measure represents a turn in Altman’s speech, which in August of this year He was “proud of not making a sexbot to squeeze profits”, in which many of us saw a swipe at Elon Musk and his competitor Grok. His change of position provoked criticism from many users, to which responded saying that Open AI was not “the world’s moral police” and that “as AI becomes more important in people’s lives, giving them the freedom to use it as they wish is an important part of our mission.” Subscriptions. Only one word is needed to understand the change in position: money. If there is something that OpenAI needs as May water, it is money, a lot of money. The subscriptions They were proposed as the most logical way to monetize AI chatbots, but the reality is that of the 1.8 billion users that ChatGPT has, only 3% pay any of the subscriptions. OpenAI’s plan is that by 2030 the number of subscribers will increase by at least 8.5% and adult mode is part of that plan. A sector that moves millions. Grok is one of the AI chatbots that has fewer restrictions regarding erotic content, but there are more apps like Character.Ai or Replika that also allow sexual content. They count in The Economist that the adult content AI market will bill $2.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to increase 27% annually until at least 2028. It is too juicy a business to be left out, even if that means going against what he said just a few months ago. Something more will be needed. Sam Altman himself recently said that OpenAI’s spending projections over the next eight years amount to $1.4 trillion (European trillions, add twelve zeros). Although the adult mode was a success and they managed to double their subscribers, There is still a long way to go to achieve the desired profitability. OpenAI has other open fronts such as the creation of the highly anticipated “AI iPhone” or robotics, but they are businesses that require a huge investment. The advertising It is emerging as another path to follow and, together with porn, they seem to be the two most realistic and effective ideas of all those that OpenAI has on the table.

A man had access to the Government’s nuclear secrets. Until he uploaded thousands of porn photos to his work computer

October 19, 2025 by usatoday24

Using your work computer for personal things is a delicate area that can be reason for dismissal. This worker from the US Department of Energy has discovered it by force after uploading hundreds of thousands of pornographic images on his company computer. What has happened? They tell it in 404Medium. In March 2023, the employee wanted to back up his photo collection. He thought he was uploading the images to his personal hard drive, but it was connected to his work computer and he ended up making the copy where it wasn’t. The problem is that it was not a normal collection of photos, but more than 187,000 pornographic images that he had been collecting over several decades. Although he did not lose his job, his mistake has had consequences and the main one is that he has lost his security clearance. To train AI. The employee defended himself by arguing that this happened during a depressive episode in which he felt “extremely isolated and alone.” One of his distractions at this stage was creating images with AI, specifically “robotic porn.” At first he used his cell phone, but tired of using such a small screen, he thought it was a good idea to upload all his pornographic images to the computer to train the AI. The problem is that he did not upload them to his hard drive, but rather they ended up on the network of a government company. Goodbye accreditation. The employee did not realize his mistake until six months later. It was the time it took his bosses to investigate the origin of that enormous amount of porn photos flooding their servers. The result was that his security clearance was withdrawn. The Department of Energy is the in charge of supervising the US nuclear arsenalso we are talking about access to very sensitive information. The worker appealed to get it back, but after an exhaustive investigation, they decided not to return it. If he had not appealed, the story would not have been made public. My boss spies on me. It is one of the reasons that the man presented in his appeal, which compared the investigation to “the Spanish Inquisition.” What does the law say about this? According to expertsAlthough they let us use it for personal things, we should not expect to have privacy on a company-owned computer. Some companies even pre-install software to measure the time employees work. Control programs. Can they force you to install one of these programs? A few years ago we talked about installing software to control the work of remote employees and Joaquín Muñoz, an expert lawyer in digital law, resolved our doubt: the company cannot force us to install a program of this type if the computer we use to work is ours, but if it belongs to the company they can do so. Of course, they are obliged to report in detail about all the functions of said software.

There are people who are dedicated to moderating porn in places like chaturbate. And some are demanding for psychological trauma

August 1, 2025 by usatoday24

If we talk about adult content sites, Chaturbate not only has one of the most names, it is also one of the most popular free webcams platforms around the world. Today It is news Because one of its moderators has sued the company. The reason: suffers post -traumatic stress. The case. Neal Barber was hired by Bayside Support Services and Multi Media LLC, the company that owns Chaturbate, in 2020 as a “customer service risk supervisor” (moderator). His work is to review the content that is published and make sure that he meets legality. On July 22, Barber filed a lawsuit where he assures that he suffers psychological trauma for being exposed to “extreme, violent, graphic and sexually explicit content” daily. Although for now only Barber appears in the complaint, the case opens the door for other moderators hired in the last four years to join. Unprotected. Moderators are the first line of defense to stop the illegal content, which according to demand, in chaturbate often includes “child exploitation, non -consensual, violent, obscene or self -harm content.” Barber claims that chaturbate does not protect the mental health of its employees, something that is sector standard. In statements a 404 averagea chaturbate representative ensures that the company “deeply values the work of its moderators and is committed to supporting the team responsible for this fundamental work,” but does not say how they plan to do it. Consequences. Without any protection, the plaintiff developed posttraumatic stress syndrome and is currently under treatment. Being exposed daily to this content “designed to cause trauma” has resulted in, according to your lawyer, “vivid nightmares, emotional distancing, panic attacks and other symptoms compatible with post -traumatic stress disorder.” And it is not the only one. Years fighting. Content moderators have been complaining about working conditionsespecially of the impact that causes them at the psychological level, and we are not talking about adult content platforms, it occurs in soft content apps that we see every day. One of the first cases It happened in 2017when two employees of the Microsoft online security team reached the limit after watching a video of a rape and subsequent murder. In 2020 A moderator denounced YouTube And in 2021 too It happened in Tiktok. The reasons are repeated: the platforms failed to protect the mental health of their employees. At the moment, Goal faces demands in Kenya And also In Barcelona for the psychological consequences and bad working conditions. Solutions. There are already protections for moderators, but not all companies apply them. In the demand, chaturbate is accused of not including some standard practices such as “content filters, breaks for well -being, specialized advice or support systems among colleagues”. Nor do they comply with other usual practices such as putting videos on grays or silence the videos that are reproduced automatically. According to Checkstepa company dedicated to moderation, AI can also be an effective solution to reduce exposure. In addition to accelerating work, integrating advanced recognition systems, moderators can “focus on more complex cases and minimize exposure to potentially harmful material.” In Xataka | Meta follows the steps of X: we not only work writing for her, now we will also work moderating her

The age verification to see porn starts in the United Kingdom. The question is how

July 25, 2025 by usatoday24

There was a time when the user only had to click on the “I am older than 18 years” button to access any porn page without problems. It is a measure whose effectiveness could easily put into question and that, from today, is the thing of the past, At least in the United Kingdom. Because from today, July 25, all websites that house pornographic content will have to implement “strict age controls.” And no, the United Kingdom does not seem willing to walk with little girls. Eh, kid, how old are you? According to exposes OFCOM (the Regulatory Agency for the United Kingdom Communications Services), “Until now it has been too easy for children to see harmful content”, including pornography. According to the agency, 8% of children between eight and 14 access this type of websites at least once a month, although more striking it turns out that 3% of children between eight and nine years old do. To stop this situation, the United Kingdom approved in 2023 the Online Safety Acta set of laws that “imposes a series of new obligations on social media companies and search services, making them more responsible for the safety of their users on their platforms.” Among them, indeed, age verification. Pornhub age verification systems, XVIDEOS, XNXX and Stripchat | Image: Xataka As? Ofcom ensures that their function is not to prevent adults from accessing legal pornography, but preventing minors from doing so. To do this, platforms and apps will have to have an age verification process that is “technically precise, solid, reliable and fair.” What methods exactly? Ofcom proposes seven: Estimation of the facial age: The user shows his face in a photo or video and is analyzed to estimate age. Banking verification: The verification service accesses the bank information and confirms whether the owner of the account is of legal age Digital Identity Services: In the European Union it would be, for example, Eid. Credit card verification: since only of legal age can have a credit card. Estimation based on the age of an email: The user provides an email and the technology analyzes the online services in which it has been used, as banks or public service providers, to estimate age. Age verification through the network operator: The verification system proves that there are no age filters applied to the mobile phone. Comparison of identity documents with photography: A photo of an official document and a normal photo are uploaded and compared to verify the age. Needless to say, companies will not only have to implement these systems, but to take action on the matter in the event that users try to skip them. One of the reasonable doubts can be the use of a VPN To access from another country. Using VPNS is not illegal and, therefore, remains in the hands of parents or guardians control the use that minors can make of them. It is undoubtedly the weak point of the system. The sanctions. In the event that a platform does not implement the required measures, ofcom can impose sanctions of up to 18 million pounds or 10% of total revenues worldwide, which is greater. Moreover, in certain cases, ofcom can ask a court to impose sanctions through third parties AKA request that a telecommunications operator block or restrict access to the web. The challenge is on social platforms, which will also have to implement the necessary measures to avoid access to harmful content Harmful content. Avoid access to porn, yes, but also to the harmful content such as related to eating disorders, suicide or self -inflicted damage. That content is not on the porn websites, but It can be found on much more mundane platforms such as WhatsApp, Discord, Reddit, Instagram, Tiktok, X, Facebook or YouTube. These platforms will also have to implement the corresponding measures, which is a capital challenge whose tour is still to be seen. Among the platforms that have already taken measures are Pornhubother minor pornographic sites, Bluesky, Discord, Grindr, Reddit and X. Ofcom is aware that social networks are an important gateway to porn and He thinks that “algorithms must be controlled and configured for children, so that the most harmful material is blocked.” This is what, from now on, you will see all British users by accessing Pornhub | Image: Xataka Therefore, from the agency they have launched a review program on Facebook, Instagram, Roblox, Snapchat, Tiktok and YouTube. Through this program, ofcom analyzes “if they have effective means to know who their children’s users are; how to identify their content moderation tools the types of harmful content for children; the effectiveness with which they have configured their algorithms to block the most harmful content in the feeds of children; and how they have prevented children from being contacted by unknown adults.” A global trend. Attempts to limit access to porn by minors are not new. They have centuries among usin fact, but in recent years they have intensified. The clearest example has it on our own borders with the Beta Digital Portfolio (better known as “pajorto”) and with the European proposal Framed in eidas2.

The technological one that generates more money is not Apple or Nvidia or Amazon. It is a porn boutique: Onlyfans

May 28, 2025 by usatoday24

Onlyfans produces 37.6 million dollars per employee if we divide their income among their number of workers, according to the detailed report he has published Mutiples.vc. It is a figure that destroys any comparison with technological giants. Why is it important. The adult content platform has perfected something that the rest of the technology industry pursues without so successful: extract the maximum possible value with the minimum necessary resources. Apple generates 2.4 million per employee. Goal, 2.2 million. Amazon, just $ 400,000. In figures. Only Tether, the cryptocurrency company, exceeds Onlyfans with 83 million per employee. Then comes Onlyfans. Then an abyss to Valve with 19 million. The rest of the great technological ones go wrong in the photo that compares them. Another business. The model. Onlyfans has built a money printing machine with just a few hundred employees managing 315 million users and 5.3 million creators. Its profit margin touched 49% in 2024, on net income of 1.6 billion dollars. The company takes 20% of everything that creators invoice. Without producing content, without assuming creative risks, without large technological infrastructure. It is pure optimized intermediation to the extreme. Yes, but. Onlyfans dominates a market where concentration is wild. 70% of payments go to 10% of creators. The average creator enters less than $ 150 per month. It is a mARKETPlace ruthless where a few gain fortunes and most subsist. Between the lines. While the great technology hire armies of engineers, designers and executives to compete for attention, Onlyfans solved the problem in another way: to create a space where demand pays directly for specific content. Without complex algorithms, without thorough moderation, without competing for advertisers. The company now seeks an assessment of 8,000 million dollars. It would be just an X10 with respect to its annual benefits, a conservative figure for any technological. But Onlyfans is not any technological company: it is the clearest demonstration that efficiency matters more than size. PUNTEDED.

The Government has been launching the “pajorte” for months. Spanish porn platforms are already noticing their impact

March 11, 2025 by usatoday24

“Before watching this video for adults, please show me your porn card.” That was in July 2024 the idea of the government to prevent minors from accessing pornographic content on the Internet. That hypothetical Pajorto It seems to have stayed in anyone’s land, however, because … Does anyone know where it is? Pajorto. The popularly known as porn card or “pajorte” had as an official name “Beta Digital”. That it was nothing more than a mobile application that thanks to the use of public or private keys would allow the user’s age to verify and give access to online pornographic content. Doubts everywhere. Soon many doubts appeared –even legal– On the viability of a very complex project at the technical level and With a little reach In our country. In addition, governments have centuries trying to put doors to porn And they never went too well. Pajorte, theoretically in tests. As they point out In the countryPajorte still does not exist even though it should have been ready for the “end of summer” of 2024. That was at least the promise of the then Minister of Digital Transformation, José Luis Escrivá. His successor, Óscar López, declared in the Senate On February 26 that the digital portfolio “is being reviewed at the National Cryptological Center to have all the security, because it has to give guarantees to all citizens.” Even so, according to the Vanguardia López, he said that the government “has found a solution to guarantee privacy and verify age” and that the Spanish tool is being “study in Europe and the same within a year all of Europe is applying it.” European digital identity (EIDAS2). The European Union It has been for years working on the call ‘European Digital Identity Wallet‘, a kind of digital identity card that will unify DNI, passwords and all payments in the same application. That initiative He is not exempt from criticismbut theoretically it will end up being implemented in November 2027 although the barriers are still important. Spain tried to advance with this digital portfolio focusing on solving the problem of access to the porn of minors, but the Spanish initiative has ended up becoming a recurring meme. Picture traffic drop. The Cumloouder Adult Content website, of the Asturiana Techpump company, asks its users in Barcelona and Madrid to choose an age verification system to access its contents. On the one hand, an app similar to Beta Digital Portfolio that makes the introduction of the DNI necessary. The second, an age estimate based on an image of the user’s face. Responsible for this platform explained in the country how their traffic has fallen 85% after implementing this system. Of the 15% who end up accessing “3.38% do the verification and 11.7% make the estimation with AI, it is almost four times more practically those who put their face.” Porn (national) would have to close. For those responsible for Cumlouder, a 85% drop in your business would be catastrophic. “The traffic is business. If we get to do it for all Spain, we go down blind,” said Javier Fernández, head of Techpump technology in statements to El País. Data privacy and protection. Pojorto will only affect Spanish porn platforms, which as we said are the ones that users use the least in our country. Despite this, this measure could harm them because the lack of legal clarity is worrying. The CNMC has processed several files for the application of the 2022 audiovisual lawwhich forces to take necessary measures for the protection of minors in this area. Better leave the business. In fact, the regulations are causing a blunt effect on that industry. “There is no system in the market that complies with the new audiovisual law without violating data protection rights,” explained one of those affected by regulation. He ended up selling the domain and eliminating the content “to avoid possible sanctions that could take me to bankruptcy.” The CNMC already fined 308,529 euros to Techpump Because of their zero age control, and these types of sanctions can be a death sentence for smaller platforms. Possible solution: no free content. The failure of the verification system has caused Techpump to choose to move on to a payment gateway, which will make it filter first with a credit card. From there they intend to create a verification system to offer it to other adult content platforms. The CNMC already indicated that the card payment is not enough to verify that a person is of legal age. United Kingdom, a parallel example. The British country also has been promoting measures to protect minors from access to pornography. His Online Safety Act It raises alternatives for identification and access to these contents, among which are a photographic identification, an age estimate, credit card checks or with digital identity services. However, there is no unique or definitive system, but It is supposed According to the British regulator, ofcom, which “by July 2025, all platforms must have a very effective age guarantee solution to protect children under 18.” Impossible to put doors to the field. All this leads to the colossal challenge of being able to control access to pornographic content by minors, something that seems almost impossible despite the efforts of Spain or the European Union. There is still room for options, of course, but the possible disadvantages – especially in privacy and limitation of freedoms – can be insurmountable obstacles to these projects.
