> And yet, when Altman wanted OpenAI to relax the sexual content restrictions, he got mad shit for it. From puritans and progressives both.
"Progressives" and "puritans" (in the sense that the latter is usually used of modern constituencies, rather than the historical religious sect) are overlapping group; sex- and particularly porn-negative progressives are very much a thing.
Also, there is a huge subset of progressives/leftists that are entirely opposed to (generative) AI, and which are negative on any action by genAI companies, especially any that expands the uses of genAI.
Yeah, but there's plenty of conservatives/right-wing folks who are Puritans, and entirely opposed to (generative) AI as well
