All the passengers are dying to ride the Spooky Express! Don’t let them miss their stops: they may be monsters, but they still have places to be and people to eat – er, we mean meet!

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.

"The Great Lakes can be thought of as "a giant pitcher of water with straws going into it" from water utilities, business and power plants in 8 states and two Canadian provinces, Scanlan says. The question is, how much more water can the lakes provide for data centers.."

i'm A, would love to draw some more collections of symbols & glimpses in any form (covers, posters, etc) #portfolioday

2 risograph prints. one is a collection of images: a molted cicada shell and a bundle of plant stalks trailing off into tendrils & tied by a yellow ribbon over panels of train tracks surrounded by grass & trees under a reddish sky; the dark entrance to a tunnel; a shadowy crowd. the other shows foliage hangs around a looming cave mouth—total darkness hides whatever may be inside. in a small panel above, slashes of red spill out into swirls of teal & ochre. risograph printed cover art for Side Story: an assemblage of panels showing glimpses into different scenes and symbols: ruins in an arch, a doorway over the sea, a ladder against a tree, a kite in the sky; dice, knucklebone, hourglass, clover chain. a comet sweeps over scattered flames, suspended between a starry night sky & a nervous system. symbols (an eye, a sickle, a drop of blood, texts on a phone, a mushroom, lightning, a mirror, a bird) are arranged in small panels around the scene. a biological tree of life poster: small panels show examples of animals from different phyla, including spiralia (octopus, giant clam), chordata (birds, mammals, fish), amblacraria (urchins, sea stars), and porifera (sponges). behind them are curving branches of a symbolic tree, in shades of blue. other panel sequences show different cellular processes, and the sun & moon in endless procession.

a central principle—maybe THE central principle—in each of these is: sometimes you won't understand what the weird little guys do, and they'll do it for a machine-reason that you can only feel the edges of. but you will enjoy it when they do it

A new JUST KING THINGS bonus ep, available to all our Patreon supporters: we tackle 1994's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, the best movie of all time according to IMDb, perhaps because of how immaculately it's made and how confusing its message actually is. www.patreon.com/posts/141116...

there are four key texts as far as i'm concerned and they are The Sims, Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, and Crusader Kings 3. lots of other seminal games out there but you play those four and you've unlocked the magical door

caves of qud is probably the best game ever idk, it's just the best one
