The cops flagged it as spam and then Anthropic publicized it and reported it to the White House. It's almost as though it was an intentional action in order to support a narrative that the AI companies are pushing.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Republican governors refused federal assistance for subsidies that would have saved them thousands of dollars a year, and now they're sending out checks for $500. California gave me more than that in one month's subsidies. That's not a bribe, that's a slap in the face.

NEW: A new USPS policy will eliminate evening mail pickups from select post offices across the country — a change that will eventually slow pick-up and delivery times for around 70% of zip codes in the U.S. We mapped those zip codes to help you figure out whether your mail ballot could be affected👇

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I guess it depends whose data you're looking at. It I think there's some playing around with statistics to get the message you want. I would be curious if someone compiled the stats of women's jobs in non-feminized industries, because anecdotally, women in male-dominated fields have been hit hard.

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

I know I keep dying on this hill but it's important: Saying "there are so many better (books/movies/tv shows) than Harry Potter" is implicitly saying there's a level of quality that would make JKR's bigotry acceptable.

There you have it.
so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said:

1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in

2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you

3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

This is my foster baby, Coral, up for adoption at www.laanimalservices.com/pet/a2273326. The first thing she did when I brought her home was find a way over the walls of her playpen. She'd probably love being an adventure cat! Whether it's adventure or snuggles, if she wants it, she demands it.

Today's word is NEVER. Today's #BookQW from Smoke and Shadows (DAW 2004) a contemporary fantasy set in Vancouver, BC. Tony Foster from the Blood books is a PA for Darkest Night, the highest rated vampire detective show in syndication, and has more than a crush on Lee Nichols who plays... 1/3
The cover for the digital edition is being used as background -- grey silhouettes of two men on a black city scape. In the lower centre are the original DAW cover -- and I'd love to know what the artist was told about the book because, just, no -- the digital cover, and the trade paperback cover of the omnibus with all three Smoke books.

     "Daniel also does all the stunt work for Mason and for Lee," Tony continued. "They almost never get blown up together." 
     "I'm pretty much the entire department," Daniel admitted, grinning as he brushed a bit of tangled wig back off his face. "We can't afford to blow them up together. Tony says you're a writer. Television?"
     "Novels."
     "No shit? My wife used to write porn, but with all the free stuff out on the web these days there's no money in it."
