Tired most of the time thanks to #hEDS & #LongCovid I co-wrote a book on Disability & Church. Likes reading, words, Disney, Marvel, radio, musicals and funny things. She/her, but they's OK 👍

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.

"We're saving God" is anti-Gospel.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

God doesn't need saving, either!

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

I'd like to thank @icklenellierose.bsky.social for this excellent gift from the Vatican.

When I was a teenager I had Leo on my bedroom wall as well.

Sounding considerably good for a choir that formed at 3.30pm this afternoon.

This afternoon:

A score of Mozart’s Requiem balanced on a church pew with a large stained glass window in the background

Just watched the excellent Mr Bigstuff S1 thanks to the free Sky weekend.

Danny Dyer is probably one of my favourite actors.

There’s a comment piece in The Times about sickness benefits mysteriously going up and no mention of Covid, long Covid, the effects of lockdown etc. Boosters help people stay healthy, but now they are only available to the very old or people who can afford them.
