erotica should not come from a soulless machine. erotica should come from your local bookstore or your friends on the internet when they have divine inspiration.

Stained-glass artwork depicting a giant skeletal figure looming over a medieval town, with fiery red and orange skies above. Below, skulls and bones lie scattered in a grave-like scene framed by gothic arches.

Two Dragon's drawn in a stained glass styled illustrations.

The dragon on the left is muscular and covered with red scales. He looks almost devilish.

The one on the right is slim figured, covered in bluish white scales. He looks elegant and lean.

Stained-Glass Illustration with a Werewolf and behind him the full moon.
Medevial buildings are placed in the background and everything is framed by a stone monument.

Stained-Glass illustration that views a rose covered frame in the background. A canine anthropomorphic figure stands in the middle, dressed in a cream-colored rope. He is holding his hands out as if he would embrace the viewer.

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.

It's #BreastCancer Awareness Month now, so I'm reposting this to say: don't forget to touch your breasts and take care of your health. You only have the one.

What's interesting is that I was diagnosed with cancer in October, when there were pink ribbons and posters everywhere :D

On a journey toward a beautiful body, assess the risks realistically and be prepared for nature to respond.
I've always really wanted to like myself, so I spent many years on diets. In doing so, I damaged my health and got cancer.

Swatch card of my Forest Floor Repeat Pattern. Repeat pattern of the greenery crushed into a forest floor. tan leaf branches and grey slate branches with bright red and dark green large berries also small branches of tan leaves with red berries and slate grey branches with tan leaves on a dark navy blue background

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.
