<p>I still think this is because, on a new release, it works on some prompts the previous ones did badly at, because new weights do well on a different set of prompts.<p>Then after a few days you notice the prompts that it does badly on that the old ones did fine with and everyone is convinced there's a regression when it's just a different part of prompt space</p>

<p>The article mentions that the "pranksterish" groups who took psychedelics weathered it just fine. They didn't have an expectation to disappoint.

<p>Generally speaking, things that you sell (the legal term is commercial speech, iirc) is more able to be regulated by the government.<p>The government can ban the sale of those things to minors, generally. So the category of porn sites that require a credit card and pay gate the content might be regulateable.<p>But that's not how places like pornhub or xvideos operate</p>

<p>It would probably also be illegal for the government to mandate a paywall.<p>The issue is not that age gates are illegal, but that the government forcing people to use age gates is illegal.</p>

<p>> It is not disingenuous, maybe a little loose on the 'meaning', but your definition is rather narrow<p>The thing is that every other country does have what they're describing.<p>> The Color Purple has been challenged many times in order to be removed from public library circulation and public school curriculums.<p>And yet nobody challenged it to get it removed from US Amazon. Amazon _is_ forbidden from selling certain books in other countries. It's so not the same thing</p>
