Remember: you pay for *every single generation that Sora or Veo makes, not just the useful ones*, each ten second clip taking a minute to generate and a few dollars from your wallet. You have no guarantee it’ll interpret the prompt in the same way each time. It’s busted.

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

screenshot from the TV show Columbo. the titular character Columbo is shown standing at the edge of a driveway, looking down at golden retriever who is happily basking on the pavement in front of him. the subtitles read: "You're a real friendly boy, aren't you? Oh, you're a girl."

realizing that not only is this true, that even have two different versions of this! one is the "bernie" version where the existence of the staffers discredits the politician and the other is the "the groups" one where the existence is the staffers discredits the issue/movement

Ghostin this Hell @hoovybaby.bsky.social · 1d

@GrayAthene
darkly funny that the media insists that only democrats have a problem with overly online staffers/ activists while ignoring the fact that ur average young republican is some groyper with a copy of bronze age pervert and porn on their hard drive that'd get you 20 to life

anyway provides a lot of very clarifying context as to having a much bigger problem with bernie or chapo trap house than you do with young republicans!

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 1d

So when I say that when I was a young Republican, I didn't realize it was inherently racist, okay, disbelieve me. Pretend I used the n-word or whatever. I didn't, but whatever you need to feel superior.

But remember: when your rule is "born perfect or GTFO," you are limiting your coalition.

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume.

They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

the porno part is so blinding that people are missing the INSANE "oh yeah we totally fixed the app's problem with giving people mental illnesses so now we're reducing the safety precautions" part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
