Daily bunny no.3108 will grow into a beautiful butterfly

A very small bunny munches on a leaf, like a bug or caterpillar. The leaf is the same size as the bunny, and the bunny is beneath a flower in someone's yard or garden. It is a warm autumn day

Worth noting that per this article, "device-level verification" is not the same thing as websites having to scan your ID. Not that this is *good*, necessarily, but it isnt quite the same as like, Texas

California just became the latest state to require device-level age verification. Under AB 1043, users must verify their age when setting up a phone or downloading apps, forcing Apple & Google to build age-check systems into devices.

FYI for twitch streamers: You can disable the annoying bird promotion on your channel by navigating to Creator Dashboard->View Rewards->Rewards

Screenshot from my creator dashboard on twitch. Viewer Rewards -> Rewards has been selected in the left menu. In the center there is an Open Reward Campaign for Duolingo that says "Sub for 3 months for FREE Super Duolingo" The toggle labeled "Enabled" has been toggled off.

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.

The short version: the Gzdoom team has finally had enough of Graf Zhal's shit (including but not limited to pushing AI code into Gzdoom).

The entire team has packed up and made a new fork of Gzdoom.
