Here's How Many People May Use ChatGPT During a Mental Health Crisis Each Week OpenAI released initial estimates about the share of users who may be experiencing symptoms like delusional thinking, mania, or suicidal ideation, and says it has tweaked GPT-5 to respond more effecti...

In recent months, a growing number of people have ended up hospitalized, divorced, or dead after having long, intense conversations with ChatGPT. Some of their loved ones allege the chatbot fueled their delusions and paranoia.

I'm a little mad at how good they are! I don't care for the SD proportions, but they're so well designed I can't help but love em

MGSD Aerial! I was skeptical of the MGSD line, but the hype is well earned. A few kinda annoying parts (the head is surprisingly finicky to build) but otherwise an absolute delight. Great design, articulation, aesthetics, and solid as a brick shithouse. 9.5/10 #gunpla

japanese politics news means i have to check in on mitsuo fukuda’s twitter and he does not disappoint. incredible work

If the backpack is attached it's really hard to make it stand on its own. Technically possible, but not worth the trouble

I don't dislike it, and the build was certainly INTERESTING, but I'm really not sure what they were cooking here. Also the gun's back half is flush with the forearm which really limits posing options with it. Lots of little decisions piling up in ways that bring the whole down.

Gundam Zirius is one of the weirdest kits I've built. A baffling mix of modern design elements (thorough color separation) with old ones (lots of polycaps). It looks cool, but in kind of a nonsensical way, and it always feels on the verge of breaking. 6/10 #gunpla

Basically it'd be Goopy Eugenic Horrors vs. Naturals and Coordinators, the latter of which are being forced to reckon with the fact that this biodeterministic nightmare was always the end stage of the program that birthed them

For the record, my idea is this:

George Glenn did not die; before returning to Earth, his consciousness had merged/been eaten by the Space Whale. Glenn/Whale then returns to enact a more extreme Destiny Plan, leaning heavily into the Body Horror side of genetic engineering

Incredible

That would go insanely hard

I would watch 100 episodes of this, easy

A prestige drama style story is such a big-brained move, I love it

Congratulations! YOU have just been hired as the creative lead on a new Gundam series! The catch: It must be set in the Cosmic Era, and you cannot alter, disregard, or retcon anything from SEED, Destiny, or Freedom.

What does your CE Gundam series look like?

Also relies way too heavily on stickers for the minimal coloration (I used a gold Gundam marker instead). Between this and the Police Zaku the Zeon Gquuuuuux kits are zero for two.

Xaviers Gyan: I wish I liked this kit more than I do, because it looks absolutely phenomenal. But the design is just bad. The torso flies apart with posing, the articulation is abysmal, and the hands can't even grip the lance without falling apart. Such a shame. 6/10 #gunpla

HG Guncannon (Gquuuuuux). The feddie suits continue to mog the Gundams. Very similar to the Gelgoog in terms of build, articulation, and stability but with extra chonk and weapons and the super cool quad-eye head. Wish it had the HGUC Guncannon's flexibility, but otherwise 10/10 #gunpla

Nyaan really knows how to live mas

G.Fred aka The Cooler Gquuuuuux. Basically the same kit as the Gquuuuuux with a different color scheme and head options. The head is a little finicky (I broke one of the two included vfins instantly) but I really like the aesthetic better than the Gquuuuuux. 7.5/10 #gunpla

It definitely needs some extra love to look right: out of the box the colors are a little too clean and obviously plastic. But just a bit of brown paint (agrax earth shade from citadel) gave it a properly used look

Slow. Slow. Quick. Slow.

30mm Milktooth (with some extra paint and weathering). A beast of a kit with some really cool equipment included. A fun, somewhat complex build that still went by quickly. Articulation isn't the best but that's to be expected for this design 8/10 #gunpla

Uh, the horsegirls took over my brain and i wrote 2000 words on Oguri and Folkqueen

Please enjoy it, even though it is unpolished @jerkus.bsky.social

Also thanks to @bloomfilters.bsky.social @ironiclark.bsky.social for being my sempais in horse analysis

and @that-wannabe-cat.itch.io for support

Sugai's Gelgoog is really Gelgood. My absolute favorite kit from the Gquuuuuux line so far. Super good articulation, fun and intuitive build, great aesthetics, and very stable (except for the backpack thrusters). A kit worthy of the shows best girl 10/10 #gunpla

Too many to fit on my shelves. I've got em on rotation basically 😅

HG Rebenwolf: I completely forgot I'd preordered this, so it was a nice surprise that showed up the other day. Fantastic kit, basically MG quality except that it has no inner frame. A challenging build with some incredible design and engineering. Sad that it's PBan. 9/10 #gunpla

MG Turn A Gundam was one of the most unique builds I've experienced. And yet, aside from a few finicky bits in the legs it was a real pleasure the whole time. Looks fantastic, too. I hope they rerelease the Turn X sometime! #gunpla 9/10

In case anyone was wondering how things are going on X the Everything App

For what it's worth I think there are a lot of great women in IBO, though with the caveat that the Cool and Competent Woman Pilots are in a polycule with a kinda skeezy dude. And also there is a setup for a W/M/W love triangle until one of the women learns about polyamory and goes full throuple mode
