You don't want to leave it on an odd number, those are unstable. Apart from five, obviously.

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

I think if I'm able to get an extra $650 in (making another 1k payment with what I have), that it should be enough to show that I'll be able to catch up with a payment arrangement.

Why do people always skip the point of the bad apples phrase. A bad apple spoils the bunch. Allowing “bad apples” to be part of your group makes the whole group bad.

Zuckerberg already tried, multiple times, to pivot the plagiarism machine what amplifies your delusions while being wrong, into a sexbot.

And each time, it turned into a pedophile.

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · Aug 15

Facebook literally made a chatbot months ago that sexted with children while pretending to be John Cena, and *then* made a chatbot with actually-written out specific policies on how to sext with children.

Meanwhile, the US and UK are going wild destroying the internet in terror of trans people.

hopefully it'll reach more people & hopefully i can raise the money to get treatment ❤️

I busted ass and made $100 on my own. i could really use help with the remainder, because I think the $100 is the best I can do for now

i've paid enough now to not lose my stuff, from pulling daily twelvers doordashing in a rented car.

that's great news, but i desperately need to get my asthma nebulizer and splints out of there.

i'm $160 short to unlock the storage unit. even $4 for the bus helps.

I have masked in public spaces since 2020. I mask all day at work. It's not hard. People aren't getting vaccinated for Covid and this anti vaccine sentiment across the country has led to a measles outbreak in my state. If more of us masked, less people would get terribly ill.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

If you wonder why I don't RT you, it's because you didn't use alt text, and it wasn't good enough to add it.

If for nothing else than selfish reasons, you should be using it.

And I'll block your ass if you just add alt text that says "alt text" or a period.

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.
