John soothing Arthur’s nightmares. #JohnDoe #ArthurLester #Jarthur #malevolent

(Close up version of illustration) There is a single digital illustration on Arthur Lester lying on his side on a bed in a dark room. His body is faced away from the viewer and he is curled in on himself, knees to his chest, arms wrapped around his body. John’s hand is hugging Arthur’s opposing arm. He is wearing slacks and a shirt covered in dirt and he is barefoot. Above him, a shape emerging from the darkness is John. His eyes and the silhouette of his hood are all that can be seen. The glow from the light of his eyes illuminate the tops of his cheekbones and the bridge of his brow; pinched in silent concern. Around his hood are soft spires of light. From the darkness his incorporeal hand, a hand made of shadows is resting along the length of Arthur’s shoulder, long fingers curved gently down to his shoulder blade.

[ART ID: A digital drawing. In a panel at the top, against a cracked and dirty brick wall, is a blond woman with four green horns and pointed ears. She is hunched over, looking towards the viewer with one goat-like eye visible. Blood drips down her face and neck. Her green dress is splattered with blood.
Below, in harsh yellow shading John Doe takes a monstrous yellow cloaked form, Arthur clutched in a black tendril. This John has a canid-like appearance, his pallid mask is wolf like with two horns, his body is black and fluffy, in the center of his chest is a blue oval gem. He reaches forward, placing one clawed hand-paw in front of himself and Arthur.
Arthur is hanging in John's grip, looking distressed, disheveled, and bloody.
They are framed by messy brickwork walls tinted green and cracking under power. /END ID]

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.

quick ms paint sketch of this cutie!! all binghes are Yearners fr fr

Messy, mostly grey monochrome sketch with bold lineart. Luo Binghe looks to the side in yearning. Bright red blood-like tentacles wind around him and reach toward the subject of his yearning, originating from his right eye. The tentacles have eyeballs embedded into them, as well as claw-like (or perhaps tooth-like) oddities.

Going from the climactic scene of the season 1 finale of Hannibal and cutting to a lucky charms commercial was honestly like being punched in the face.

$A digital illustration of Arthur and Bella in detailed Victorian costuming holding on to each other while john looms over them presenting a tome. John and Arthur are wearing matching gold while Bella is in a contrasting blue. the background is an opera hall with a large glass dome ceiling, half of the scene is obscured by the dark, fractal patterned inside of johns cloak. They're framed with a detailed golden boarder that transitions part of the opera house into a night time pallet. Diamond shaped stars are a common motif.$
