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.

Though that makes me think of how much there's in common between card games and fashion.

Yes that's true. But like, there's not a brand driven, seasonal guitar that will go out of meta next year.

Not every guitar is as good as every other. But a cheap one will get you started, and a good one stays good as long as it lasts.

I think climate change would be largely solved or delayed if most major metros were rebuilt with walkable infrastructure and public transit + National high speed rail + sustainable farming practices + abolishing the suburbs. Do these things and hold corporations accountable for their pollution.

I guess there's a difference between creative hobbies and consumerist hobbies.

Stuff like card games and miniatures is built around getting people to spend money. I love card games but not only is it not worth the money, I feel like a chump whenever I spend on boosters and such.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

One of the weirdest games ever, and now with no reason not to try it.

Very funny that there were apparently english audio files on the Japanese-only disc but never used.
