Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Why do all of these men, who are pigs, resemble each other???

They won’t see any of that, unless, as you said, those types respond to this blatant invitation to cause violence at a peaceful protest. They are so very evil!!!!

All they do is apply financial pressure to threaten people - then cut Federal jobs anyway no matter what!

So they really do think that Christianity is racist and bigoted and homophobic.

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.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I had similar plans for 2025 (not photography, but for my small art jewelry business) - now those too are plans for 2026. This year…damn.

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.

Many moons ago, I did an SPN/Bladerunner mash-up as an homage to the amazing movie posters of Drew Struzan. The only thing I have remaining is this small image. Struzan was such an influence on me growing up. He brought the movies to life. You will be missed, sir.

Democrats are ready to stop the price of your health care insurance from skyrocketing and reopen the government. But Senate Republicans refuse to hold a vote to lower health care costs–the House GOP isn’t even showing up to work.

They need to get serious and come to the negotiating table.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

They nailed it describing ICE officers as not up to the standard of the police or the military. They are mercenaries doing it for money or fun. Either is despicable.
