I realized that I don't remember ever posting these, so I will do so now.
Purge and BEAR don't always get along...

Monstrous love...

Something from a while ago. A little uncharacteristic of me, I think. It was fun to work on, but I do feel I lost the initial vibe halfway through.

Google is throwing a fit, Microsoft is ending support for Win 10, Samsung is shoving ads on devices, crappy Bsky ToS are going live...

I'm very unhappy and I'm about to make someone very unhealthy.

gAI images can't be edited and they can't be re-generated. If an image needs to be tweaked, you either have to do it by hand or generate a completely new image. this also goes for video.

gAI actors or movies have no practical application as soon as its tested outside a puff piece headline

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.

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

standing together makes us strong. standing with labor makes us strong. standing with leftists and revolutionaries and the oppressed around the world takes a billion struggling workers and makes them an army which can push the course of history toward peace and justice.

we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

do not listen to pundits, even trans pundits, who have given up in their hearts on the dream of liberation, who have preemptively sold out in hopes of becoming part of a world which is already dead and rotting

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

I feel when freedom of expression/art is argued for, many people knee-jerk hear they have to like/accept art they hate or disgusted by

you are allowed to hate and block art you don't like or even find morally reprehensible. you're just not allowed to negatively impact an artist's freedom to make it

the CDU/CSU coalition in Germany being opposed is extremely positive and it's important to keep their votes there. I cannot overstate how much power that party has in the EU - absolutely use it as leverage if you're calling EPP mps

you can use normal arguments for mps on the left

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can

If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

Hey EU Citizens.

Between #savespeech and #fightchatcontrol, the current EU wants to STILL push to "protect the kids" in their own invasive way.

For as long as it lasts, they will keep pushing till they get what they want: control of you

What can you do to #savespeech?

- Call your MEPs. Every time they introduce any UKOSA law or Digital ID/ID AV law, tell them "NO" loudly and often: www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
- Continue #fightchatcontrol and follow them for updates: fightchatcontrol.eu

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.
