nothing makes me feel like a lovecraftian protagonist more than watching brand new misinformation sprout from the ground and take root as the next pop sci "fact" to be debunked for the next 15 years because of shoddy fearmongering clickbait journalism which paints an inaccurate picture of the world.

Also if you use it for therapy, even if it is supplemental, I straight up don’t trust you or your judgement and actually don’t feel safe around you alone.

I literally called someone out for using it for therapy and they had a HELL of a crash out his partner had to pull him away. Yeah. We aren’t ready for what’s to come.

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.

The gym was really empty at 5am this morning, so since I was feeling really good about myself, I took some pics during my stretching session and then mid-workout.

A mirror selfie of me. I’m wearing black shorts and a purple tank top that is tucked in. My left arm is raised to flex my bicep.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

Two conservative newsrooms — Newsmax and the Washington Times — so far have joined a slew of national news organizations in refusing to sign an agreement with the Pentagon that could limit journalists' rights to gather or report information not officially authorized for release.

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon's new press rules

The Pentagon said reporters would need to sign a pledge committing to its rules in order to maintain their press credentials.

It’s a very purple state if you assume the independent voters are right leaning and it’s very cut down the middle.

Karlos the Frociaggine @karlosthefog.bsky.social · 1d

It’s for sure factual but the way how they record it is strange and if I’d assume more of the “independent” would be right leaning, Texas would be VERY purple Swing state.
