Rabid, when the veil fell @rabidraygun.bsky.social · Oct 18

Let's make a new intro post!
I'm Rabid/Julie, I make digital (fan) art, write, knit/crochet, and sometimes write code, too! Stuff I'm into includes
Bioware games, Bethesda games, basically anything vampire related (including my own original writing), and a variety of fantasy/scifi stuff

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.

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 4d

It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded

Or, to be strictly accurate, today is the 67th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state

(Yes, sorry*. This thread is disgusting)

(*Well, kind of)

Papal Swiss guards in costumes – and especially helmets – that could have come from the 1980 Flash Gordon film flanking the dead body of Pope Pius XII in a big, posh room in a palace in Rome. The pope is covered in plastic, in a way that suggests he has been inexpertly shrink-wrapped. This will be explained later

Sometimes I consider googling "Can you die from anxiety" but I always decide that whatever the answer is, it's probably going to make my anxiety worse

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

This social app can put your face into fake movie scenes, memes and arrest videos

The new Sora social app from ChatGPT maker OpenAI encourages users to upload video of their face so their likeness can be put into AI-generated clips.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Signal @signal.org · 12d

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

250.000 mensen die zich uitspreken. Stop de genocide. Stop de apartheid. Stop het kolonialisme.

Wij eisen rechtvaardigheid en gerechtigheid. Alle medeplichtigen aan de genocide moeten vervolgd en veroordeeld worden. Sluit ze op.

Wij stoppen niet voordat er een vrij Palestina is! 🍉

About an hour until it's October and I can officially kick off this year's #NovelGauntlet 😱🎉Hoping to add 30k-60k words to this draft over the month, I am excited!

a black & white digital painting: a couple are holding each other and gazing into each other's eyes while they stand in a lake in front of a misty mountain range and under a starry night sky. To the side the same couple but in a mossy forest: the woman seems unconscious as the man gently holds her and is about to bite her neck. A small doe runs away in the background.
