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.

Almost every piece of modern fetish art you’ve ever seen owes a debt to one man. Most probably don’t even know his name, which is a quiet tragedy of its own…

His name was John Willie.

Model Naturale photographed adjusting her heels next to an ocotillo plant in the Anza-Borrego Desert - a situation I'm sure we've all been through. Photographed in 2009 with a Nikon D200.

A model wearing next to nothing bends over to adjust her high heel shoes in front of a large desert plant. Her long hair obscures any parts of her body which may be alarming to sensitive viewers.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.
