A proper pinned skeet is in order, methinks.

I'm most known as Leina, aka The North-East Recluse. I pretend to be a red panda online and blather on about videogames, mostly, but also other nerd stuff, furry stuff, and also the odd serious topic like UK politics, mental health and gender identity.

I know it's not their more heinous crimes but damn. The fact Israel is run by such openly petty, childish dicks is just the cherry on top of everything.

The change represents a shift in how OpenAI approaches content restrictions, which the company had loosened in February but then dramatically tightened after an August lawsuit.

So far, all I see people using those AI video generators for is either spreading misinformation or shitposting.

Yup, totally worth consuming as much power as a whole city and several lakes worth of water for.

it's pretty straightforward: in order for society to improve, billionaires will have to have less money. they don't want that, so they are rooting on the end of civilization instead. they don't have special knowledge, they just think it sounds cool to live as a king in the wasteland

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

People. PLEASE. Have some common sense. This is AI Clanker slop.

No inflatable balloon would have this detail, and do you think Toho would allow this after Fukushima?? Use your critical thinking in the age of AI Slop.

These are talentless mongrels who chew on their own dicks.

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.

It's been some time, but I'm back with a stream schedule! It's my favorite time of year and I'm hyped as heck to have some fall fun 🎃🍂

A calendar with a stream schedule, featuring a chibi red pana in a micro bat bikini with big paws. The schedule reads:

Wednesday 10.08, 7pm-9pm
Planning on spending time drawing whatever strikes my darker fantasy; maybe noncon, maybe guro, who knows?

Thursday 10.16, 3pm-5pm
Playing Pumpkin Carver again this year, and you can join, too! It's such a sweet little game, I can't wait to walk around and see everyone's pumpkins again this year.

Tuesday 10.21, 11am-3pm
Just sketching whatever sounds fun, probably some more art of a few new characters I've been workshopping lately.

Sunday 10.26, 10am-1pm
The Ko-Fi and Picarto subscriber stream, where I'll be taking characters and making them into monster versions of themselves.

Thursday 10.30, 7pm-9pm
The return of the reading stream. I'll be choosing 2-3 public domain horror stories, and my partner will be making an appearance again for his engrossing read aloud of "The Cask of Amontillado". You don't want to miss it!

From the looks of things, it would be slightly too small for me, which is a shame as I'd be interested in such a cutie!

I didn't like The Inbetweeners even back then, and bringing it back feels like a recipe for embarrassment.
