This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

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.

already stopped paying for spotify a while ago and basically stopped using it altogether (wow they’ve really tanked the free user experience over the years) but man, this is so gross

guess it’s time to become a guy who only listens to FLAC rips of my vinyl collection

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

Saeed and many others need our help; the fighting may be over but the suffering and displacement and homelessness remain

Saed. 🍉 @ps-saed-98.bsky.social · 1d

I returned to our home and found it completely destroyed. My family and I are now homeless and will be living in tents. I am heartbroken by what happened to us. My heart broke when I saw our home. 😔💔

I need you now. Don't forget to support us through GFM to restore some hope.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.
