It is GOOD that people do things in different ways.

And in fact, it is GOOD that people protest in different ways. There's a really good bit (it's actually all good bits) in Leanne Simpson's As We Have always Done where she talks about how having a diversity of methods for, for example, seed harvesting leads to more resilience in times of scarcity.

People protesting in ways that are different from how you would protest is not the problem.

Man, I'm tired of folks policing how folks should protest. This is not the way.

Begging people to consider that people in "red states" are not all the same and that being in "blue state" does not mean superiority. This is disgusting.

ICYMI like I did: Mark Carney has been consulting with Stephen Harper on negotations with the US. Just a totally normal, non-bananas thing for a Liberal PM to do, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enacting vengeance on entire territories of people is not a reasonable politic, and blue state nationalism is also bad, actually.

I checked the "Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism" Star Trek manual, and it says the Doctor can hook you up with a new designer pussy in less than an hour.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

You can definitely trust Sam Altman.

I assume "verified adults" means you also have to give him your ID, which you can also definitely trust him with.

Don't worry, everyone, Sam Altman solved for the mental health problems.

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.

ICE agents surrounded, seized, and zip-tied a U.S. citizen who had just finished working a double shift because she didn’t “look” American to them.

She had her U.S. passport on her when she was detained, yet she was interrogated for an hour. trib.al/hDC7Vgv
