I'm still big mad about the drum major in high school who asked me to write an arrangement of "Sing, Sing, Sing" for the marching band and then took credit for it

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

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

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.

What I'm listening to today: "Olson"

Boards of Canada arranged to play on a DEC PDP-1 from 1959. The PDP-1 doesn't have sound, but it does have front-panel light bulbs for debugging, so they rewired the light bulb lines into speakers to create 4 square wave channels

put out a free archival release of most of my soundcloud music from 2011-13, from my PxTone work (the Cave Story synth) to stuff written circa-Anodyne 1, including a handful of piano songs, covers, etc. Meant to have this out in 2020..better late than never!

the early game platforming is rough, now that I'm in midgame there are like 5 different abilities that extend my hang time and it feels like I have a lot of options, it's fun and flowy

yeahhhh this ties in with another complaint of mine, stingy checkpointing

I guess it kinda raises the stakes when you get to the tricky bit, but there are other ways to do that too

👁️ isaac io 👁️ @eyesack.bsky.social · 21h

but like if you die once on a boss your silk ends up there anyway? so I don't get it. why not just put a rest area there. it seems to follow the same pattern as many boss fights and gauntlet rooms, which is several easy stages followed by a REALLY TRICKY bit. just let me skip to the tricky bit?

haha I'm the total opposite for some reason, enjoying the platforming and scrub fights but annoyed by boss battles
