The MingKwai, invented in 1947, was the 1st Chinese typewriter, capable of storing nearly 9,000 full characters and is able to generate up to 91,000 characters, electromechanically, no computers

It was too expensive to mass produce, but here's a replica

The paradox of "men hate 'loose' women but also want to freely consume women's bodies without commitment" that has traditionally sorted women into Madonna/Whore seems to be being resolved as "replace all real sex workers with nonconsensual AI pornography of non-consenting celebrities"

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.

I have been EXPELLED!

From the National Atomic Museum Foundation.

Which I kind of expected and would have done to me if I were in their place.

Even so, not a good look to expel members because they use state law to make record requests about the organization.

FULL REFUND, WINNING!

I should mention there’s a few panels of her remembering her parents physical abuse as a helpless child, extremely gory murder, and lots of sex including het sex. So it’s like a grindhouse film.

At least one World Rally Championship Group B driver said the car was so powerful that they lost the ability to see in color. Such was the mental and physical strain of driving the machine.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

"breakneck speeds" is quite literal at the peak of motorsport, with F1 Drivers experiencing up to 6Gs of lateral acceleration in snap corners. This requires powerful necks and they have to exercise to endure the machine

Spanish racecar driver Carlos Sainz Jr. training his neck, lying on his side in the gym with a plastic band over his face with a set of weights chained to it.

I think our DM, who had 2 combat oriented parties on this island, had gotten used to us as the wacky talk things out party. So when he gave us the combat challenge, he was shocked at the scorched earth, no holds barred combat we did. To his credit, he rolled with it as we burnt half the island.

and last year i was the value consumer buying appliances so it just became a, give me the cheapest one from a name brand but with the least amount of features that can go wrong.

Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋 @poppyhaze.bsky.social · 17h

Btw, you can buy a washing machine from Bosch, Miele, and SpeedQueen right now. They’ll last forever and if they break, they’ll be easy to repair. But they cost the same relative to purchasing power of yesteryear, so get ready to pay $4000.

Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋 @poppyhaze.bsky.social · 17h

well it’s relative to purchasing power and inflation, in 1960, you bought a $3000 fridge and it lasted for 20 years or you can buy a $300 fridge in 2025 and then whine it broke down in 2 years. You get what you pay for. Something has to give.

‪For example, the most popular fridge in America is a French door fridge with an icemaker and cold water spout including with a tablet. That is also the least reliable and has the most things to break down. So as consumers, we also have some blame with overcomplicating a fridge. ‬

Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋 @poppyhaze.bsky.social · 17h

so is there a grand conspiracy to make appliances worse?

it’s more value engineering, new features, and regulation. Outsourcing, including of engineering means maybe the only expert was on a short contract and no one speaks Japanese to call Takeshita-san

The nightmare was actually about working long shifts at a 3D printer powered factory where they kept catching fire or somehow nearly blowing up to make these little crossbow toys with polyurethane bow “chains” which were from said book. The book flatters its readers constantly.

Another idea is that the most mercenary of aged out adventurers take this kind of work because it doesn’t involve stamina. You’re in and out in minutes

Nightmare included the “Saga of Agamemnon” a so-called “AI” written epic fantasy that was top of the bestsellers list but drove people insane.
