I know a criminal when I see one and that, right there? Criminal.

What kills me are the games that don't seem to use AI art in the actual game, but use it for the thumbnail graphic. Like...they went to all that trouble to make a game, and couldn't drop a hundred bucks on an artist for one pic that represents their work to the world?

We're one week from the release of Vampire: Bloodlines 2 and I might be very so slightly excited, just a tiny lil' bit.

Imagine trusting ChatGPT with logs of your most perverted sexual fantasies, attached to your verified name and credit card info. Enjoy the public humiliation and/or blackmail!

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month
ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer 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.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

My old air fryer finally died, and I had to buy a new one. I'm...weirdly excited about a new kitchen gadget. Is this what adulthood feels like?

A ton of people devalue storytelling as something "anyone can do" and genuinely think the lying slop machine can come up with the same work that a roomful of professional writers can. When it'll actually look more like "My seven year old brother tried to write a DS9 script."

I wish you had the self-awareness to be ashamed of yourselves.

It means you've already been over-exposed to the Videodrome signal. There was never a character named Masha, you just hallucinated both of them. Now go to your television set.

So glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, someone has to make a LOT of amends in book three...

Robo-Soros. The globalists rebuilt him. They made him stronger.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Right? The dude is *boring*. He just became shorthand for "evil mastermind of the Jew- I mean, globalists" at some point and it stuck.

It's the dumbest goddamn conspiracy theory. If massive amounts of protestors were getting paid (by SOROS!!!!111!), hundreds of thousands of checks being distributed, it would be easy as hell to trace and prove. The fact that nobody's even bothered to try proves that the media knows it's a total lie.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

"Used to exclusively to"...some days I really wish we had an edit button.

Oof. "What makes someone conservative, liberal, right wing or woke" is saying a LOT, probably not what the writer intended, considering exactly one of those words is a right-wing dog whistle used to exclusively to label and denigrate people.

Thank you! Nora...will be seen again before the end of the series, and that's all I can say about that.

I hope you enjoy it! (Bearing in mind that it's the first book I ever wrote, ten years ago, so hopefully I've improved since then...)
