sometimes all we can do is hug our pet / loved one / emotional support item of choice and binge watch something ridiculously light-hearted

Scene from Futurama:
Fry and Zapp Brannigan are standing, exhausted and in their underwear, in front of two very large Amazonian women who are glaring at them

The caption says "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised"

the push to stop regular people, especially women and queer people, from talking about sex and expressing ourselves sexually is unreal and it's v much in line with this attempt to make big tech companies the only ones allowed to monetize erotica. It is enclosure of the sexual body and mind.

Rob MacWolf, Werewolf Hitchhiker @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog · 1d

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.

porn created by consenting adults - bad, immoral

porn created by ripping off unconsenting humans of all ages - fine, great even

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'm tired of living in a world where there's "no money" for anything that's nourishing and good for humanity and infinite funding and support for everything that's hurting us.

I feel like I should be able to make a decent living as someone who is okayish at my craft but every HR office in America seems to disagree? Not fair

i think it should be extremely easy to get a job. what do you really risk just throwing me in the mix and seeing what happens? a few dollars in wages, maybe a few more in the unemployment fund? we both know you have the money. I’M the one who doesn’t have the money! because i’m asking you for a job!
