To celebrate @sakaimii.bsky.social actually drawing her DND character, I doodled Aster's amazing prowess at bringing people down with his words. #comic

Aster brings down two cloaked goons by making them reflect on what their mothers would think of their life choices. This makes us wonder: is Aster and his mom okay?

I had played for 40 hours before I went on a 2 year hiatus so now I’m just relearning everything 😂

"a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority"

The phrasing you're looking for is that he's suspending parts of the Constitution by decree.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 14h

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

After multiple people have committed suicide or gone mad from AI:
“…we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools...” 🙄 I’m sure that will get better once there’s also more sexual attachment! Not like there’s existing porn addiction out there

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.

A typical AI data center uses as much electricity as 100,000 households, while the largest under development will consume as much power as 2,000,000 homes — according to @npr.org.

Data centers are booming. But there are big energy and environmental risks

How tech companies and government officials handle local impacts will shape the industry's future in the U.S.

Heard it's time for #portfolioday again...

hi, I'm Katha, a game design graduate from Germany.
The art industry is in shambles but I still hold on to a sliver of hope that I will get a chance to work on a video game as either a concept artist or character designer.

If you’re ever in Kobe, go to Nishimura’s coffee. They have an amazing morning deal and the cake there is tasty 😋 They also have a mysterious peanut butter coffee ☕️ (it wasn’t bad, but it was interesting)
