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.

Hi #PortfolioDay

This is my first one so not sure what to write but I like ttrpgs, games and art! Teaching myself new skills all the time.

Low saturation art of woman in oversized suit walking down stairs. Her face is in shadow as well as everyday objects floating around her head. Her eyes are bright purples and reds and leave a trail of color around the floating objects.

Digital art of a girl in a suit skirt set with leg warmers holding a glass watering can full of red liquid. She is surrounded by plants and ghosts with horns which match her own ghostly horns and tail.

A knight in armor, leather hat and a layered dress. Her outfit is shades of maroon pink and red with a veil in bright red being pulled over her face. An arrow has gone by her face and in her chest piece leaving pink sparks on impact. She holds her sword low to her side.

A digital drawing of a woman in a sci-fi outfit with a robotic arm. Her face is covered by a veil, she has a short cropped jacket, black body suit, ripped leggings with fish net underneath and wade covers over hiking boots. A small than scale silhouette of her mecha is projected in the background. In the right corner an illustration of her without a veil is shown she has pointed ears and fangs + patches that list multiple blood types. In the upper left corner reads : NAME:[UNKNOWN] CALLSIGN:V4MP

HOWDY AND HELLO #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a freelance character artist who loves drawing fantasy, women, and especially fantasy women!!!!
I'll be open for work at the start of November!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail. She is dressed in layers of red, gold, green, and turquoise, and she is holding a wooden staff with a golden lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient.

A color illustration of my changing moon Lunar oc, Emerald, from an exalted game. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes with striking red eyeshadow, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb with the rest pulled over one shoulder. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and a boob window, lots of gold and green jewelry, and a translucent green and gold floaty scarf thingy. The background is a simple green gradient with a crescent moon behind her head.

#repostober 13: Nossa Senhora do Chuveiro Elétrico.

An illustration of a woman in a bath towel, under an electric shower head. It looks kind of like some art nouveau, kind of like a saint image. In Portuguese, it says "our lady of the electric shower, give us Resistance".

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?

A woman asks her partner "what do you get up to for ninety minutes in the shower?" her partner replies "normal stuff." We cut to her in the shower. She hunches over, one hand against the wall, hair obscuring her face. She says "weak..." she pause for a bit. Then once again she says "weak..."

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI
