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.

Making these again with pepper jack and listening to my Halloween playlist

Ina Garten in a witch hat in front of a mantlepiece decorated with orange papel picado paper bag lanterns, with a lit candelabra in front of her. She is waving one hand airily and saying “If you can’t summon the flames directly from hell, store-bought is fine.”

Michael Eugene Archer, better known to the world as D’Angelo, has passed away. The Richmond-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist didn’t just help create neo-soul, he refined it.

If you are buying silly costumes and whistles to help stop our country from sliding into fascism: congratulations on doing more than our elected Democratic congresspeople!

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Saw a MAGA hat out in the wild for the first time earlier, gross. He was very elderly in the way where they clearly shouldn’t be driving, but if he has kids either they don’t call anymore or will insist papaw is good to go until he mows down a school crossing bc he forgot which pedal is the gas

I apologize but I have a silly request. Could I sell 2 art books? Im attempting to leave the house by going to st augustine with mom and I'd love to get some jerky and popcorn. It's not a necessity, I will survive without them! But it's tradition to get them there. Thank you!

c.e. chant/hades 💀🐊 💬 too many comics @portaltohades.bsky.social · May 20

I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession

Tyree art book cover featuring various drawings and sketches of the main trio

Art book page featuring Chicahua and Cuicatl. Dialog reads: Cuicatl is the name of Chi's deer. He's a complete bastard to everyone but Chi. He is well known among the nobles for being the deer that bit the king on the ass. He loves Chi and only Chi.

Tletl's art page featuring various drawings and a sketch of her. Text reads: Tletl is the enteral lit flame of Kopitl. The ADHD daughter of the Sun. Her hair moves like fire.

Meztli's page from the art book. Text reads: Meztli, the mood goddess, is viktor's mother. xei calls viktor "Little rabbit" because of Meztli's affinity for rabbits. Her vitiligo changes with phases of the moon. She keeps a rabbit charm that maurice had made for her.
