All those “good republicans” worked very hard to lay the groundwork for what we have now, so they can get fucked

Evangelical Christianity and small government are inherently racist beliefs babe. Who do you think comprises the part that gets removed to make it small

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 4h

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.

One thing that’s probably getting overlooked here is: these folks are serious about this stuff.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Every Jean Painlevé short is on the criterion channel so I can probably watch seahorse dissections with my morning tea every day for the next few weeks

I first saw The Reflecting Skin when I was in active addiction and seeking out things that would make me feel as terrible as possible, and boy does it deliver. The “good old days” never existed. “It’s all so horrible, isn’t it? The nightmare of childhood. And it only gets worse.”

The Reflecting Skin (1990), Phillip Ridley

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements

that's the cause of most of the mental health issues

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 21h

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.

One time I saw someone at Hampton Beach wearing a neon orange seabrook power plant joke shirt with a huge radioactive symbol on it and I was never able to find it in any of the stores and it’s my white whale now

I love when an AI boosting article asks a question like “ever wanted to see Marilyn Monroe star in Game of Thrones?” No, I don’t want that, that’s a baby-brained idea. That is a Hampton beach T shirt vendor ass idea. “What if Tony Montana was in Star Wars with Rick and Morty?” listen to yourselves
