You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

I really do not have any interest in Bush II or Obama's opinions anymore, and I actively dread every time Clinton opens his mouth.

Kyudo's Warhammer and the Bounty Hunter's Marauder II. I decided against painting the red "cat mouth" on the Warhammer because it looks silly. For the Marauder II, unlike the rest of the lance, I didn't drybrush any gray onto the feet, so it looks a bit ethereally threatening.

A Warhammer 9K in dark gray with broad bright green and narrow light gray bands. It has yellow eyes painted on its side torsos.

A very bright green Marauder IIC, with a little bit of yellow checking on its side torsos.

A rear view of the Marauder II. Jump jet nozzles are visible under its rear carapace.

Annie's Griffin and Kolbitr's Loki II (aka Hel). The Griffin is the only model I used metallic paint on, since I figured the MechWarrior obsessed with Old West gunslingers would go for a pseudo-nickel finish on her main gun.

A Griffin 2N in leather brown, with bright green accents on its pauldrons and lower arms. Its cockpit is red and its primary weapon is dirty silver.

A rear view of the Griffin, showing its bank of jump jets and additional bright green accents on its upper legs.

A Loki II (also known as the Hel) in dark gray with bright green arms and lower legs. It has yellow warning stripes across its side torsos.

Finished updating the 3150 Bounty Hunter lance. Another real glow-up, if I do say so myself. More pics in the replies. #BattleTech

Four BattleMechs in varying schemes. Left to right, they're a Griffin in leather brown, a Marauder II in bright green, a Warhammer in dark gray with bight green and light gray bands, and a dark gray Loki II with green arms and calves.

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.

I’m in the mood for some mischief.

I wanna see BlueSky/BlackSky bring back the “Top 8” feature.

I wanna see chaos.
I wanna see agony.
I wanna see crying and throwing up.

It's not healthy to be evil. It takes real energy to choke back the constant shame.

in light of peoples’ bad bunny bowl reactions, I think we need to start confronting people with questions like “why do you believe that you are entitled to enjoy everything that happens?”
