The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

#GoodOmensRecs: “Chef’s Kiss” by @joyomens.bsky.social

Crowley’s a Gordon Ramsey-type chef on the Devil Dishes Network. Aziraphale runs a YouTube channel, “Heavenly Helpings,” in which he gently teaches others to cook. DDN wants him to appear on Crowley’s show.

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.

Watching The Martian & 20 minutes into the movie I'm already somewhat traumatized. 😵‍💫

I blame @cassieoh.bsky.social for her excellent #GOMarsAU WIP, "Something Wanting," which tempted me into it. 😉

Comic starts below. It's addictive. Don't say I didn't warn you. 😅

Something Wanting, pages 1-4

SW is a Good Omens fusion with the Martian, where Crowley is an astronaut stranded on Mars and Aziraphale is in charge of the satellites that NASA uses to talk to him

The artwork by @illustoryart.bsky.social in my GO calendar is just so beautiful. October is especially cosy 🥰 🎃

I’m going to miss not having these to look at every month next year 🥺 Darn it ©️ why can’t you let fans make merch? It’s not like people make LOADS of money off it… (1/2)

An illustrated picture of Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens in a picture book kind of style. Crowley is seated on the front step of their South Downs cottage wrapped in a tartan blanket and holding a mug whilst looking lovingly up at Aziraphale who stands just beside and slightly behind him in the open doorway. Aziraphale is holding a mug of his own and is smiling down at Crowley in a rather smitten way. There are fairy lights in the foliage surrounding the door, and lit lanterns and pumpkins either side of the step to the doorway. The colours are warm and inviting. It’s a very cosy scene!

Thank you SO much @goodomenshq.bsky.social , @colleendoran.bsky.social , @terryandrob.bsky.social , & everyone else involved with the Good Omens Graphic Novel & merch. It’s all STUNNING! 🤩 🥰

A photo of a parcel. Someone has written ‘PACKIDGE!’ On it with a smiley face in marker pen.

A photo of the contents of the ‘PACKIDGE’. From top left: There is a set of full-length TV version Aziraphale and Crowley pins. Next to them is a beautiful colour print depicting TV version Aziraphale and Crowley holding hands. Crowley is leaning out of the open door of his Bentley to do so and is smiling brightly. Aziraphale is looking at Crowley intently and holding his ‘investigative reporter’ hat to his chest. They’re totally in love! Beside that is a set of TV version Aziraphale and Crowley face pins. Below the print is a copy of the graphic novel by Colleen Doran. It’s gorgeous! Lastly, there is a pair of A.Z. Fell & Co. Socks. They’re a dark red colour with golden/dark yellow (yellow is pretty!) designs of books and feathers. ‘A.Z. Fell and Co’ is written around the cuff of the socks in the same gold/yellow shade.

A close-up photo of the TV Aziraphale and Crowley full-length pins, the colour print, and the TV Aziraphale and Crowley face pins.

Pirates 🏴‍☠️🦜 (Part 2/2) #AppleSeedsFunkoStories

Aziraphale and Crowley are still wearing their pirate bandanas. They are inside with the treasure chest between them.
Aziraphale: "Did you bury some booty?"
Crowley: "I was the booty!"

Aziraphale: "Oh, how marvellous! I'm sorry, my dear."
Crowley: "Can I tempt you to a sword fight instead?"

Aziraphale now has some rope.
Aziraphale: "If I win, can I tie you up?"
Crowley: "I was going to let you win anyway, I don't need an incentive."

Aziraphale has wrapped Crowley up in the rope. Crowley is blushing.
Aziraphale: "Oh, I think we both know you wouldn't be letting me win."
Crowley: "Ngk."
