Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.

between airhead phd puppygirls, unemployed doggirls, girlboss career dogwomen, and now bootlicking halfwit neoliberal capitalist dogs, i think we have enough evidence for a canine covergent evolution theory of trans women

i try to reserve "content creator" for specifically youtubers who were once passionate about something to dedicate their time to something only for it to become their full time job that they eventually inwardly come to loathe since their income depends on them not burning out so they churn out dreck

i hate ppl using “content creators” in place of “fan artists” so fucking much like. “content creators” implies a responsibility to create which is not the fucking case in fandom. “fan artists” is just…. they’re a fan who is an artist who chooses to create fan art in their spare time.

Capcom execs: We replaced the original games, why re-release them?

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

If you buy an NFT of a stock in OpenAI you should have to wear a big bell like a goat for the rest of your life.

The crash is going to be brutal when it comes.

Robinhood says "it might offer "tokenized" equity in OpenAI. By "tokenized," Business Insider reports, Robinhood means "blockchain-enabled representations of securities like stocks." In reality, they have no connection to OpenAI equity whatsoever."

It is important now, more than ever maybe, to commission your weird porn from your weird porn artists.

You want a growth transformation sequence with focus on clothes ripping with a coffee trigger? You don't ask a machine to do that, you pay that exact flavor of weirdo to draw it for you.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Remarkable recovery of the Klamath River salmon. Many thanks to the agencies, Tribes, and NGOs who came together to remove dams and monitor the recovery of the Klamath River salmon. And kudos, too, to the indigenous youth who paddled source to sea on the newly freed river
