Josette Plimons consumes the dead, walks among the living, and burns in the spaces between. "Ash Eater" is a short horror story written by me, accompanied by a stunning illustration by Naomi Butterfield, and is absolutely free to read. I hope you like it! buttondown.com/ChrisMJones/...

Ash Eater

Aside from her general courage and integrity, Greta Thunberg looks like a Peanuts character and that's hard to go up against without looking like the clear villain in any confrontation with her

this isn't to say non-gamers are dumb obviously, just that the information is both incredibly complex and totally usesless to them

For people in professions that depended on these liberal institutions, it's not just that the money is gone. It's that the centers of gravity are missing. Which way is up now

even explaining "Halo isn't good anymore" to a non-gamer is like trying to tell a trout about the Fibonacci spiral

I think fewer harmless famous people should die in bulk and other, much obviously worse and more powerful individuals should die in bulk instead

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 2d

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.

U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of costs due to Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

I've been at work all day, I have a case brief to write, and I've looked at the news. Things are dire and I need some well seasoned slop to sustain me
