Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

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.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

HOWDY AND HELLO #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a freelance character artist who loves drawing fantasy, women, and especially fantasy women!!!!
I'll be open for work at the start of November!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail. She is dressed in layers of red, gold, green, and turquoise, and she is holding a wooden staff with a golden lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient.

A color illustration of my changing moon Lunar oc, Emerald, from an exalted game. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes with striking red eyeshadow, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb with the rest pulled over one shoulder. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and a boob window, lots of gold and green jewelry, and a translucent green and gold floaty scarf thingy. The background is a simple green gradient with a crescent moon behind her head.

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I’m Runo, a freelance fantasy artist specializing in characters ✦🌿

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.

A black and white drawing of a long-haired character with antlers and fluffy ears, portrayed against a forest background. A circular shape frames their face from behind, and multiple sparkly shapes decorate the portrait.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.

compilation of 4 images. | IMG 1: book cover picturing a young woman up close, only torso and the bottom half of her face are visible. her neck is extended as much as possible. her lips partially open, gasping for air. a red, ghostly hand hangs over her neck in a menacing gesture that wants to grab and choke her. hair is in motion and floating. the text says: "A. K. VENRINN - THE ROOTS THAT BIND US - THE ELDERTREES TRILOGY" | IMG 2: A comic page with 4 horizontal panels. The patrons voted to "go with the flow". A muscular half-elven woman Roz and a lean tiefling woman Lav are both pushed out of a fancy establishment. "I lost my first gig because of you!", Roz yells. Unbothered, Lav stretches her arms. "Relax, this job was probably lame anyway. I'll get us a real deal from better people, no sweat." With a door slam, we enter a tavern where a brawl is currently happening which undermines the message that Lav is trying to send by taking Roz to "better people". While Lav looks very proud of herself, Roz is startled by the unexpected violence. Upset, Roz stares at Lav. "Why, you little..." she mutters through her teeth with a shadow over her face, as we see rage slowly rising inside her. The next two choices say patrons can choose: "Trust the process" or "Do not, in fact, trust at all". | IMG 3: a mockup of a kickstarter page graphics for a tabletop game Kinfire Council. it shows a phone floating in front of an orange background, with some slides positioned nearby and showing other elements of the crowdfunding page's graphic design. | IMG 4: a poster illustration of a middle aged elegantly dressed fish-species guy, raging and in the middle of swinging his knife and using blood magic. the title says "from Ghostpunk Nokturn - KIERAT" in a fancy font that seems to be slashed through. the smaller notes at the bottom credit the participators of Actual Play that Kierat is from, on a podcast called podsłuchane.pl
