Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
This is very sad. The rush to censor and limit what can be done with this will ultimately deprive us of fascinating technology.

You can pay for GPT3, or use this hamstrung version for free. They are doing this for profit, not your amusement.

OpenAI is a non-profit.

They were previously non-profit. They changed to "capped profit" in 2019, meaning profits for investors are capped at 100x their original investment. So an investment of ten million dollars will only return, at most, 1 billion dollars.

And probably when the profit starts to reach that level they can just change it again..
