this one doesn't have any, like, actual genetic features tho b/c it's really just a crossbreeding test. but you can imagine there's all sorts of ways to get various kinds of demihuman out of this

anyway i was intending to actually get stuff done today instead of just coding this but oh well

well i got my allosome code robust enough to handle a bunch of separate chromosomal differences. monster/human pairings produce a bunch of non-viable eggs & don't breed true very frequently but uhh that just means they gotta pump more eggs into you i guess💦

genetics table featuring the potential offspring of a human/monster pairing. kind of.

so of course mastercard and visa and paypal and stripe will all be refusing to do business with openai, right? for violating their use policy against adult content, right??

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.

in practice my allosome code isn't quite as flexible as i'd hoped, so i'm going to have to revise it a little to actually permit crossbreeds between human/demihuman/monster, which is also probably gonna involve me figuring out/inventing a way to turn the genetic slurry into something coherent

xax @xaphiriron.bsky.social · 18h

the vague idea is just that there'd be a prolonged 'accepting fertilization' period where genetic material is accepted & once fertilization happens, through some kinda selection that ends with a coherent final genome, (haven't coded that part yet so i'm not sure how i'd do it exactly) it's fixed

yeah, there's multiple pigment genes, though they're all used in very simple "adjust skin color by this amount" ways. there's currently nothing epigenetic at all b/c there's no external landscape that could possibly activate anything, tho that would be neat if/when i actually use this for anything.

anyway i've been wanting to write some nate/moose baby steps porn but i feel like it would be kind of betraying the game's ethos if i did that without actually, you know, having beaten the game. they are very cute tho

real af.
if you like someone's music, tell them!
if you like someone's art, tell them!

a snippet from Rene T. A. Lysloff's 2003 "Musical Community on the Internet: An On-line Ethnography" that reads as follows:
After participating in the scene for several months, I came to realize the most important form of currency in the mod scene is an e-mail message from a listener telling you that your music is awesome.

which is like, that's weird but tbh not as weird as plenty of actual plant reproductive strategies

i might try to put together a scientific genetic explanation for how the monster mpreg sex works in 'the new hive' b/c it's implied that there's a genetic contribution not only from the monster & the human carrier but also from anybody else who fucks you during the early stages of carrying the egg

i'm supposed to be working on my barajam project but instead i spent today doing this shit

(this is a genetic code simulator i wrote. i filled it out w/ gay orc mpreg. the thing i was actually working on today was making allosomes maintain coherency during meiosis.)

a genetic table showing the potential offspring of two orcs, with skin color/skin pattern/hair color/tusk size attributes and a whole mess of genes. it's two XY orcs so a bunch of their offspring are YY males also

i don't think it's useful to compare in terms of "better" or "worse", but you're making stuff that only you could make, & that's definitely not nothing

i do think the social media blinders thing is such a huge aspect of it. everybody's struggling in their own way, but online it's very easy to see other people as decontextualized streams of their creative output or w/e

so i'm not doing kinktober on top of barajam, but i saw a kinktober list that started with 'incest' and i was like, hey i've had this half-finished prompt sitting around for years so might as well finish it tzaphiriron.sidemoon.net/static/misc/... ajani goldmane/jazal goldmane. gay catman incest.

this is the equivalent of banning rollercoasters because they simulate the feeling of falling to your death, and falling to your death is bad

i know this is days late but i have to say that was my big takeaway from hellpoint too: it's so interconnected that it's maybe _too_ connected. every time i've played the game i've ended up arriving at the midpoint from a different area b/c there are just so many ways to traverse through the game

i posted 'human experimentation' to ao3 b/c it occurred to me that 1. i had skipped posting it when i posted the rest of my original works to ao3 and 2. it was only ever posted to sofurry, which has been down now for...months? archiveofourown.org/works/70345681

it's lightly edited from the original
