I've made it a policy to block the account of anybody that follows me that I do not like the vibes of. Like, for instance, a "blue california" account. Why are you following a furry writer? Get outta here.

Let's talk about what the process of submitting short fiction used to look like, shall we? And about what it looks like now.

Honestly, this is mostly a cri de coeur, and a message of solidarity to anybody who's ever thought, "god, this is such a pain in the ass, why do I even bother."

We bother because we love writing, editing, or both. If we didn't, it would be easier to just walk away from the hassle.

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.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

we can all pretend!

A digital comic featuring anthropomorphic animals.

A goat and crocodile are sitting together. The goat asks, "Hey Duncan, how do you think Kip's confession is going?"

The crocodile responds, "probably something like..." while pulling out two photorealistic plushies of Kip and Mason, two dog characters. He voices them, pretending to make them talk.

"Howdy Mason! I really like you! Would you like to go out with me?"

He makes the other plushie respond. "Sure thing, Kippers! I've been dropping hints that I'd like to date the whole time!"

"What wonderful and open communication we have between each other! I love the normal and healthy relationship we have!"

The goat smiles, thinking "Where did he get these??" while the crocodile makes the two plushies kiss.

I encountered the headline in isolation so I have no idea where its from. But judging purely on the framing of the headline, it's probably some business journal or something

This is what I was thinking about

A post from Tumblr. A picture of two plastic skeletons posed together. One is vaguely realistic, but the other has solid 'bone' tits over its ribcage.

daemontool says: straight people are terrifying they can go as far as to give the girl skeleton a pair of bone titties to indicate a straight relationship

tokomon replied: BONE TITTIES

If a large number of people in the democratic party agree with you (and I think they do) - then you'll win primaries against the DSCC. But the answer is not for the primaries to not happen.

kitconway.bsky.social @kitconway.bsky.social · 7h

I simultaneously agree with you AND think it's lame to see people in their late 70s clinging to power with the help of the DSCC, headed by another person in their 70s (Schumer) clinging to power. Democrats clearly have an age/energy problem and this feels like a proxy for that.
