The witch knows water as spirit carrier, knows it as resonator between our bodies and enfolding otherworlds. Whether gifted as puddle in lane or hollow of felled tree, scrying mirrors are everywhere. Her fluid auguries suffer no drought. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Infuriating that so many platforms have been banning erotic art, and payment processors have been pressuring that; only for the Mass Plagiarism Machine to turn around and say “we’ll do erotica.” I wonder (I don’t) if they’ll receive the same treatment.

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 1d

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.

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Furries, I need your help.

Temg, a childhood terminal cancer fighter, needs you now more than ever.

He wanted to quit fighting until Furrydelphia and MakeAWish got him to his first con.
Afterwards he told his parents he wants to continue fighting.

What's on your minds?

As is seasonally appropriate, I've been thinking about death.

B/c I can't help myself I've also been thinking about Christianity's fucked up relationship to death, and the toxic dynamics of hardline faith.

Socrates was described both as a "gadfly" for provoking unknowing/ aporia (in Plato's *Apology*), and as a "midwife" for nurturing the life which is born from that place of non-knowing (*Theaetetus*).

I like how in "Altura's" Portuguese you can see the connection between "concept" and "conceit."

English translation:

It's okay to rest in perplexity. In fact, a good impasse (aporia) can be the ideal moment to notice the cessation of the conceptual mind.

“Empiricism and idealism alike are faced with a problem to which, so far, philosophy has found no satisfactory solution. This is the problem of showing how we have knowledge of other things than ourself and the operations of our own mind.” – Bertrand Russell

last night I got to go to a single release party for my pal Doug McArthur (whose album art I drew earlier this year) and set up at the merch table to sell prints of it alongside my regular stuff. I realized I forgot to share it so here it is! #art

a cartoon illustration of a man in a denim jacket and jeans playing a lute and singing while walking down a path next to a river winding through foggy green hills. the hill on one side has birch trees with little pink leaves, and some pink mushrooms upon which a little white and black cat is perched. the other side has prickly, mostly bare evergreen tree trunks with the occasional needled branch. In the foreground there are ferns and glowing pink flowers. Another little black and white cat with ziggy stardust lightning bolt markings is nestled in among them. in the far background hiding behind a hill and some trees is a large blobby black shape with white pinpoint eyes. on the left among the ferns is a giant raven. a tiny nuthach meeps on a birch tree on the right.

@bluerepublik

Hot take but this is a wildly effective form of protest because there's no way you can claim the unicorn suit person who is twerking is a violent revolutionary who needs to be pepper sprayed and not look insane

writing-prompt-s:

The Anti Christ came and went, but no one noticed because he wasn't worse than the current state of the world already is. The rapture followed, but no one went to Heaven, so we didn't notice that either. We've been living in Hell for the last last 5 years, and no one has noticed, yet.
