OpenAI will soon let adults create erotic content in ChatGPT. Experts say that could lead to “emotional commodification,” or horniness as a revenue stream.

Interword spacing: it's not just a good idea, its a VERY good idea.

It does and it doesn't...

I'm currently exploring just how required this particular piece of training is.

There was no tasking, not verbal, not email. I figure if nobody tasks me with training then it isn't required just because some unknown person enrolled me in the training.

Nobody's sent me a nastigram yet, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Three alpacas in a barn stall. Two are kushed, and a red/brown alpaca is starting to stand up in the foreground.

We had interviewed someone for a faculty position. In the faculty meeting after, things looked good until I described his behavior at lunch. Then the floodgates opened about his behavior toward grad students, department staff -- pretty much anyone who wasn't faculty.

He didn't get the job.

*work to save democracy

Chris Bohn @docbohn.bsky.social · 4d

It takes many, many people to save democracy. Many people who vote with their brains and their hearts. Many people who are "for" something instead of "against" something else. Many people who work to democracy every day, even in the good times.

That's the power needed to save democracy.

I can't speak to witchcraft, but outside of that context, my answer is:

No one person has the power to save democracy. If one person could have that much power, democracy would already be saved. More fundamentally, one person having that much power is the antithesis of democracy.

Why, no, Mr. Bread. I expect you to fit in the toaster.

Five alpacas wait behind a gate to be admitted into their favorite part of the pasture.
