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.

Oh, this is straight up gorgeous! I love how detailed you've made her expression, the wings, even choosing a background with gradients that would make Daydream stand out more!

It's such a blessing to see this on my timeline, thanks for making it 💖

Felt like drawing something for the Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, given it had 10th anniversary recently. Time flies.

Oh nice! I really like Cara's interface. I don't usually go there because it's mostly an app solely for artists, and I'm not an artist myself...

But at least I know I can see your latest work in a platform that truly respects and supports artists :D

NOOOOOO D:

Is there no way to get it back? Don't you have an alternate account where you can post previews and cropped versions of your art?

ngl it feels a little overwhelming to be on the mlp fandom

Not because there's drama or controversies like there is in any fandom but because there's just SO MUCH GOING ON
New fanarts every single hour, new songs each week, new videos new collabs new memes new-

NOT ENOUGH TIME TO ENJOY IT ALL AAAA

Did a little more work on Twilight's evolution from crowning to growing into the next Equestrian ruler. Upon the advice of @mintyroot.bsky.social, I tried a more stylized, rounded mane style before her powers grow to the point where she just has to let it flow freely.

‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ creator Maggie Kang says she doesn’t think a live-action remake would work.

“There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation”

The detail of Sunset's tattoo is the perfect cherry on top. Awesome work!
