CONTROL Resonant took over the Mall of Tripla in Helsinki! Thank you to all who showed up - an incredible turnout that we didn't expect 😅 (We hope it wasn't just for the free buckets!) It's something special to meet the community on our home turf. Kiitos paljon! #CONTROLResonant

Twitch has confirmed that it is using livestreams, chats, and clips to help train generative AI models at parent company Amazon by default, with the option to opt-out. Addressing criticism, Twitch Chief Product Officer Mike Minton said it was opt-out because “if it was opt-in, nobody would opt in.”

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...
Training for Generative AI

Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon. Turning this off does not opt you out of Twitch and Amazon using your channel content for other purposes described in the Twitch Privacy Notice, including using AI-supported Twitch features that benefit the community by facilitating streamer growth and monetization (such as real-time sponsorship campaign assistance), viewer discovery (such as recommendations), and community safety (such as AutoMod).

This post has been quoted back at me too many times, so I'm happy to now report that with the Sektori Switch 2 launch, I've pretty much recouped a living salary for myself too. Total sales are at about 30000. The Switch 2 launch has been very well received, so thank you everyone who's jumped aboard!

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.
