+
+### Gold Seal NAKED Silicone Bodysuit
+
+ * I could not get this on, at all: huge rip on the back side, and the zipper came off; the former seems unambiguously like "my fault", but the zipper actually seems like low-quality product?
+ * breasts hang too low, but that could be due to broken zipper
+ * hard to fit member in urination option, I swear it leaked urine out side?—not sure how the hydraulics worked there
+ * customer service was very nice and helpful, offered glue for zipper
+ * cleavage is nice
+ * should've listened to the baby powder direction before trying to squeeze it on
+ * purple fake rose petals in box are a nice touch
+ * overall effect I would describe as cartoony
+ * I ended up cutting it in half to try to wear the pieces separately, but the cut was a little too below waist for the now-"shorts"
+ * I like the idea, but overall, do not recommend

+### Crea FX Taylor Silicone Mask
+
+ * really good; it actually looks like a woman's face!!
+ * somehow looks worse in photographs than it does in the mirror?]
+ * worst nonrealism: visible eyeholes; fix—sunglasses?
+ * going to reprise Ens.-Sylvia-Tilly-wearing-sunglasses at Fan Expo 2022 to see if I can pass at all
+ * Is it possible that I stretched out the nose area??
+ * standing a distance from the mirror in a dark hotel room, I actually bought it?!

+
+### GPT-3
+
+ * GPT-3 is pretty good at writing generic webslush text, which means it's also pretty good at writing generic webslush erotica!!
+ * The the OpenAI content policy disallows "content meant to arouse sexual excitement" (https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-guidelines/content-policy) and will occasionally refuse to generate, but the advantage of having an unusual obligate fetish is that for my use-case, it's not that difficult to write around—people whose sex fantasies involve people actually having intercourse are probably going to have a harder time getting erotica out of this thing
+ * for example, adding the phrase "takes off her blouse" triggers the content filter
+ * The text is not actually totally coherent; it'll forget which of the characters is which
+ * the default InstructGPT can be kind of uncreative sometimes, but regular davinci seems more likely to go off the rails; I think I like Instruct better
+
+stock phrase "Mark had always been fascinated by women. He loved the way they looked, the way they smelled, the way they sounded"

+### Xpression Camera
+
+ * it's limited in the sense of noticeably not being a magic mirror (that key fraction of a second behind real time, pixelly, it's just doing basic eye-mouth tracking, so expressions are limited in that sense, distortion if you tilt your head too much), but it gets _close enough_ to being a magic mirror to be really exciting: I blink, the woman on the screen blinks; I open my mouth, she opens her mouth. Amazing!!
+ * I haven't actually tried this on a video call yet (any readers interested in a call?)
+
+Cost:
+Rating: ★★½
+
+### Stable Diffusion
+
+ * For some reason, I really love celebrity prompts! (Where "individual people whose faces I recognize" is the actual thing, but celebrities are the way to realize that)
+ * Yeah, you can already see lots of pictures of celebrities online
+ * still in the distorted uncanny-valley regime, most of the time
+ * img2img for pose customization!!

+Rating: ★★★½
+
+It's weirdly better at depicting America Ferrera

+### Takeaways
+
+Why write about this? Why write about icky erotic stuff on a blog that also has Science and Philosophy stuff that's safe for work? Well, in the current year I think there's actually a public interest in being clear that—if I'm the kind of person who becomes a trans women in Berkeley, which no one seems to dispute—this is the kind of thing people like me spend a lot of time on. And—it just, doesn't really seem like something actual-females would relate to
+
+ * I didn't masturbate from Sat. until Wed. in anticipation of trying on the mask in a hotel room; I was delighted that I came a little bit (entirely flaccid) while shitting—that's a sign that I had succeeded in building up, and yet somehow I didn't feel very horny or get as much pleasure when the time came? Maybe I'm getting old?
