For those rightfully concerned by this new feature, it's being rolled out slowly. Keep an eye out on your end, and when it's available for you, look at the bottom of the page. Smack that "Turn Off" button as hard as you can. Let Twitch and Amazon know these features are invasive and unwanted!

Twitch isn't making Gen AI training *opt-in* because no one would voluntarily choose to opt in. Instead, they are offering an opt-out option.

again, these are literally Nazi tactics!! these are Nazis!! and Democrats will say it's too unpopular to speak up against this
Identification

Due in part to the inherent difficulty in identifying transgender people who can pass as their preferred gender, as well as identifying gender non-conforming people who may conform when in public, the Nazi government relied heavily on repor... g by private citizens (often neighbors) to persecute transgender people.[861[87|[67] A widespread belief in Germany at this time held that transgender people were inherently deceitful, as they lived their lives "in disguise", which motivated some Germans to denounce them to the Nazi government.

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville. The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

All new games are NOT using genAI. Don't trick yourself into believing that for a second. This thread is proof of that. The only way that becomes true is if you give up. Uplift those who don't. Don't support those who do. Easy.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

"Only translation" - a giant "go fuck yourself" to translators. Translation work is a complex skill that's more than direct from language a to b. It involves cultural context and understanding to make the translation make sense. For a language like Japanese, it's knowing keigo (where appropriate).

There are no exceptions that I'm willing to carve out for generative AI. I don't want it in code or workflow, I don't want it as a placeholder, I don't want it for translation, I don't want it in marketing. If generative AI has touched your game, I don't want your game. It's not that complicated.

Seems like an excellent time to remind people that the entire reason 7tv was created was because the dev didn't like that BTTV removed racist and blackface emotes. Use BTTV or FFZ to see emotes in the meantime, or make the permanent switch. 7tv is the Kick of emotes.

Update/Clarification: it seems most, if not all, AI TTS and "soundbaord" of scraped streamers have been disabled due to the number of abuse reports. Which is good, but many people's clips are still on the site via search.

This is the problem with Assisted Dying policies that are implemented without sufficient policies to ensure a right to care or a dignified life. A Canadian man waited a year for treatment for end of life care only to get denied. His MAiD approval happened in two weeks. That’s eugenics.
