It’s very possible Nick Fuentes will appear on Tucker Carlson’s show next week— the largest MAGA platform outside the White House. Fuentes has been on many large shows in recent weeks, barreling towards the mainstream at “6 million miles an hour” as he told followers last night

The scary part to me is how it exposes how they think of others

It’s projection

They feel so sensitive about being disliked and see it as persecution…

Because they believe people they dislike should be persecuted

And they happily dislike people for their race/ gender/ bodies

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.

an ex was a field archaeologist and her job consisted of sitting in the shade at construction sites for 8 hrs while workers hollered at her inappropriately until they found something in the ground and she would walk over and touch it with her tongue and say "this is a rock" and go back to the shade.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
