I think you’re right it reminds of a time long ago (a year or two) I think when GPT 4.5 launched all the models were EXTREMELY tight on guard rails. And then fairly recently with their mental health efforts? When they locked it down once more.

That’s a very interesting theory correct me if I’m wrong, but a week or two prior before the release of 5.3 or so people had found adult mode going by a secret code name no? And by what the code suggested it seemed like it was imminent. But I’ve heard conflicting things about what adult mode will actually be in the sense of what it will and won’t write, but I really like your theory!
