If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This is one of the last workspaces still functioning in all of Gaza, and it’s in the north where the IOF is focusing its ground invasion. And the kids are still coming for their exams, and the team is still helping them—to ground their community in the land and resist ethnic cleansing. Join in.

Following up on this: his response is so normal it's painful-the core reason he interrupts it is because recipe writers include long, breathy, earnestly irrelevant stories not because They Don't Know Better; but because they need it for SEO.

The funny thing about this demo to me is it's text to speech on normal AI. He interrupts the answer to his question which contains first steps so when he repeatedly asks for what he should do first, the model gets confused and panics. Which is exactly how normal people would use this 10/10 no notes.
