Where’s my folder of Crankor gifs?

She had multiple meetings with other people.

She continued to be troubled.

She said she was going to be making changes to make things better for the rank-and-file employees.

Two months later, she revealed her plan.

30% layoffs and no raises for the norms.

25% pay rise for the C-levels.

She quoted my salary to me. I quoted her my monthly expenses.

She asked how it was possible that things were so expensive.

I told her "This is how the world works. You think you know. You don't. You are deliberately insulated by an industry built to do so."

She was "troubled" by this.

In a candid discussion with the CEO of a former company, she said "I'm just like all of you, I don't understand why you're so upset."

I told her "you can have a live tiger delivered in 2 hours for your daughter's fifth birthday party. I can barely make rent. We are not the same."

On the couch. Under a quilt. Pinned down by a cat who has become a singularity. Body being flooded with sleep ions.

This is how I go out, friends.

Remember me in song and story.

My semi-regular reminder to all my testicle-having homies to get yourselves checked for lumps, lesions, cysts, and tumors.

I got *extremely* lucky with my cancer. It could have been much, much worse.

And now I’m a cyborg. So that’s kinda cool, too.

Get yourself checked. Go. Do the thing.

Oh no Kara what did you do?

My quote of the day from this day one year ago:

Leiji Matsumoto cares not for your "continuity" and your "plausible explanations"! He cares only for manly struggle and the allure of a life upon the sea of space!

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

Cool, thanks. I’ll dive into both later. I’ve done a lot of study on lead and boomer cohorts but this one missed me somehow.

Zuckerberg already tried, multiple times, to pivot the plagiarism machine what amplifies your delusions while being wrong, into a sexbot.

And each time, it turned into a pedophile.

Facebook literally made a chatbot months ago that sexted with children while pretending to be John Cena, and *then* made a chatbot with actually-written out specific policies on how to sext with children.

Meanwhile, the US and UK are going wild destroying the internet in terror of trans people.

Can I get the name of that study? I have some reading to do.

Boomers got the brunt of that, but looking at the age cohorts for that slice of X you’re probably on to something.

I'm watching an old episode of Hart To Hart ("Hunted Harts," S4 Ep11) and holy shit the fact that they put one of the actresses into a small cage with three big cats, none of which are naturally social with the other just absolutely made my teeth itch.

They had to have used SO MANY drugs on them.

No, no, the first one was perfect, I'm just flabbergasted that I didn't think of it myself, what with my Doctorate in Punology.

I have literally written stories with Human/AI romantic relationships and I want nothing to do with this depraved plunge into the soulless depths of these pits of acid.

Those are not sirens on the rocks. Those are just rocks with bad paintings of sirens and a rusty gramophone.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

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.

⚠️ PSA ⚠️

Alaska just got seriously fucked up by Typhoon Halong.

There are tons of folks now without homes, and winter is coming fast.

Alaskan winters are long and cold as fuck...

Times are tough, but if you have something to spare, they could seriously use the help.

Please, do what you can...
