"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

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.

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.

New article from me in the New Socialist on how AI is the aesthetic of postmodern fascism.

Wow I literally thought to myself a few days ago that the end goal of ai may be to ban all art made by humans.

My worst nightmare might be coming true

I don’t exactly how to phrase this, but like… is autism that bad???? Like, why is it such a source of fear??? Of course there are challenges but you can be autistic and have a rich, fulfilling life! Many people do! I don’t understand the preoccupation.

he got his ass beat so bad it sounds exaggerated:
1. Got dissed 3 times in the course of 2 days
2. withdrew when Kendrick called him a pedophile
3. Kendrick calling him a pedophile became The Song of The Summer
4. He sued about it
5. They played the song at the SUPERBOWL
6. He also lost his lawsuit

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.

You ever felt kind of a "sad nostalgia"?

Like, remembering a drawing you drew some years ago or when you were a child, that are now lost to time because you hadn't preserved it, and now you just a memory of it, and a feeling of regret
Kinda felt like this today a bit

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

and like plenty of the stories reporting this have a "but growth slows" line appended to the news: that's there because the coal guys want it there

Some have said about Assassin's Creed games that "DEI kills art" but this might be a case where "anti-DEI" helped kill art.

Much more about the game and the context of the decision at the link.

Most of the story is paywalled, but you can sample reading it via a free trial.

But now genuinely, I think a lot about how capitalism robs my ability to create because I'm in a constant state of fearing that I won't be good enough to sustain myself financially through creation, and because I'm in too much pain and anxiety because of Job.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.
