Marginalized voices have always been at the forefront of the internet, yet our stories often go overlooked. Bridget Todd chronicles our experiences online, and the ways marginalized voices have shaped the internet from the very beginning.

Afroman Wins Lawsuit; Buffy Reboot Slain by Hulu; Nicole Kidman Steals Bezos' Spotlight; Zuckerberg's Metaverse Shut Down - NEWS ROUNDUP!

Not long ago, Sam Altman was bragging about how OpenAI doesn't make sex bots. Then, just two months later, announced the company would be rolling out erotic content on ChatGPT.

So how's that pivot into adult content going? In the words of Dorinda Medley: "Not well, bitch."

Soon after the announcement, there was a high-profile exit from OpenAI — over concerns the company wasn't handling the adult content pivot responsibly. And now Sam Atlman says it’s been postponed.

So what does it all mean? Bridget sat down with friends Samantha and Anney over at SMNTY to break it all down.
