Good Morning Elizabeth. Sorry,
I fell asleep last night responding to this one. Feeling better this am.
The tech bros from S Afrika do not have good things planned for people. They relate to ones and zeros like so many kids today.

So much for all the noble missions and transformations; Altman's AI is down to talking dirty now. Pretty sure it's a massive lie that they've "mitigated the serious mental health issues" and seems likely this new porn feature will generate lots more of them. Bubble, please pop.

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 asking in good faith here as a premium user — what's the difference between adult erotica and the sexbots you said you wouldn't introduce to the platform this past July?

That platform is overwhelmed with bots. I have to stay on the “Followers” side to stay away from them.

As part of that, we're experimenting with displaying new information on profiles, including which country an account is based, among other details.

Starting next week, we will surface this on a handful of profiles of X team members to get feedback.

When you read content on X, you should be able to verify its authenticity. This is critical to getting a pulse on important issues happening in the world.

Good morning Elizabeth. Hope you’re feeling better. I do feel a bit better, but still have the clogged head that comes with the headache. I’m going to be good. Glad you’re getting rain. Hope it comes with some cool air.

Mom worked two jobs. She had five children. We grew a garden, usually raised a calf every year or two, and me being the only male, born first of five, learned to cook clean and survive with my sisters.
I remember cooking a cake for mom when she was so sick I thought she was dying. I had 1 sister.

Monday and I have a sore throat, thanks 😂.
Good morning Elizabeth.
I hope you realize I’m teasing 🙏.
Glad to know you feel a bit better. Who’s making the donuts today, since you’re still feeling ill? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had a substitute when we were feeling crappy.
Get better 🫂

Trump knows he was president on Jan. 6. He’s simply lying to rewrite the history of his attempted coup.

Just like Trump knew he lost the 2020 election and lied to fraudulently subvert the results.
