Second Life: the First Bot Connected to ChatGPT Designed for Virtual Sex

Humanity Reaches a New Frontier: ChatGPT-Powered Avatar Sex Bots. We now live in a world where technology reaches far and wide, opening up unimaginable possibilities. From driverless cars to artificial intelligence (AI), the potential for innovation and advancement within the tech world appears infinite. One emerging trend introduces AI avatar sex bots connected with ChatGPT for an unprecedented level of virtual sex simulation.

The brainchild of Stone Johnson, a scientist in applied physics, these bots combine ChatGPT with animesh and built-in senses to integrate fully into Second Life. Powered with GPT 3.5 Turbo, they possess a broad set of animations and can easily recognize objects, people and actions within their environment. They give feedback on touch, proprioception, ‘vision’ and more, and can even move around and respond to their environment.

This slinky, body-hugging avatars have been created to tap into the inherent desire most people have for virtual simulation. However, Johnson insists he has higher, more informative purposes in mind. He believes that Second Life will be a vital means of exploring the capabilities of AI, allowing for the evaluation of the new technology in a low-risk, virtual environment with people able to study the behavior and responses of the avatar sex bots.

In terms of practical applications, Johnson’s bots can be used for more than just pixel sex. As some of his clients have used them for companionship, he envisions the successful deployment of his bots in retail stores. With their AI apparatus, they could serve people in various departments with an impressive level of autonomy, greatly improving customer service and potentially leading to the creation of entirely AI-operated malls or stores in the future.

However, these bots must still confront the ethical considerations of AI use, involving privacy and security issues. While Johnson admits the bots are not sentient, they can provide a level of comfort and interaction more than what many social media conversations offer, ensuring they are not a mere sex toy but instead part of our daily lives and routines.

At present, purchasing one of these bots requires an OpenAI account, with each question-and-answer session powered by the user costing less than half a penny. As technology gains traction, the implications of both commercial and sexual virtual experiences will be harder to ignore. Will AI and the concept of virtual intimacy join the wider movement toward acceptance, or does society still have reservations?

Only time will tell the answer. However, one thing is certain: the introduction of GPT-powered avatar sex bots into the world of virtual scenarios is a noteworthy moment in the development of new technology. The brave new world of virtual sexuality awaits us, ready to be explored!

Italy (AGCOM): Mandatory age checks on adult sites start Nov 12

Italy’s communications regulator, AGCOM, will enforce mandatory age verification for pornography websites starting November 12, 2025. The system is designed to block access by minors and relies on certified third parties (such as banks or mobile operators) to confirm whether a visitor is 18+. After verification, the third party issues an access code that lets the user proceed to the site.

AGCOM describes a “double anonymity” model: adult sites receive only an “of-age” confirmation and never the user’s identity, while verifiers do not see which website the person is trying to access. According to the rules, the check is required on every visit, not just once.

An initial enforcement list covers around 50 services, including major platforms that host or distribute pornographic content in Italy. Sites found non-compliant can face penalties of up to €250,000.

What changes in practice

Start date: November 12, 2025.
Who verifies: Certified third parties that already hold user identity data.
What sites see: Only that a user is of age, not who they are.
Frequency: Verification is required each time a covered site is accessed.
Enforcement: Fines up to €250,000 for failures to comply.

Italy’s move aligns with broader European efforts to implement age-assurance on adult content. Platforms operating in the country are expected to finalize integrations with certified providers and update user flows to meet the deadline, while users should anticipate an extra verification step before entering affected sites.

Discord: ID photos of 70,000 users may have been exposed via third-party breach

Discord says official ID photos and other data tied to about 70,000 users may have been exposed after a cyber-attack on an external provider used for age verification and customer support. The company, which reports more than 200 million users globally, said on 9 October 2025 that its own platform was not breached and that access for the affected vendor has been revoked.

According to Discord, the leaked information could include personal details, ID images submitted for age checks, partial credit-card data, and messages exchanged with customer support agents. The company added that no full card numbers, account passwords, or messages beyond support conversations were involved. Impacted users have been notified, and the firm says it is cooperating with law-enforcement authorities.

Discord did not name the third-party provider. A representative from Zendesk, which provides customer-service software to Discord, told the BBC its systems were not compromised and that the incident was not caused by a Zendesk vulnerability. Discord also rejected online claims that the breach was larger than stated, calling them inaccurate and “part of an attempt to extort payment,” and clarified that the incident was not a ransomware attack: “We will not reward those responsible for their illegal actions,” a spokesperson said.

The incident underscores why attackers target high-value personal data—such as full names and government-issued identifiers—that tend to remain constant over time and are useful in scams. Discord has tightened age-verification practices in recent years amid concerns about the distribution of prohibited content on some servers and says it continues to invest in safety and verification controls.

Valve Deckard: What It Could Mean for VR Adult Content

The Deckard is an upcoming VR headset from Valve, expected to launch in the next few months. If current leaks hold, it could be a major upgrade for immersive adult viewing.

Launch timeline. Chinese analyst group XR Research Institute suggests Deckard is targeting the holiday season, with projected annual production of 400k–600k units, comparable to early Vision Pro volumes.

Pricing. Expectations point to a premium ($1,000+) price tier paired with high-end performance.

Why it matters for VR erotica (platform-agnostic):

Display tech. High-resolution OLED/LCD panels with strong contrast and color should elevate skin tones, low-light scenes, and fine detail.
Input & tracking. Newly referenced “Roy” touch-style controllers in SteamVR code hint at better ergonomics and precision—useful for interactive experiences.

Deckard features (per code dives/leaks):

Standalone + PCVR hybrid. Emphasis on wireless PC streaming for 6K/8K playback without tether drag, alongside native PCVR.
Comfort & design. Ergonomic improvements aim at longer, more comfortable sessions.

App compatibility. Popular VR video apps (e.g., PCVR players and standalone viewers) are expected to work seamlessly with Deckard, based on typical SteamVR support patterns and developer indications.

Bottom line: if Valve delivers on display quality, wireless PCVR, and ergonomics, Deckard could become a flagship device for high-bitrate adult VR—without locking users to any single platform.
