#Twitch continues their AI Ls 😞 There's an #EU petition to make a European Public Social Media, and while the organisers have said their aim is something like Instagram or TikTok, I really see potential for an actual alternative streaming platform funded by EU+Canada #EuropeanCitizensInitiative

Muse has just dumped its entire filesystem, and the instructions include "keep a page for every person in the user's life" with "the nature of the user's relationship with this person: how close they are, what it is built on, how they act with each other, and what it seems to need right now."

Twitch creators appear to be adding 'aioptedout' to their content tags to help indicate to audiences that they have toggled it off. Twitch CPO Mikey Minty was asked about an "opted in/out indicator" yesterday and said they had no plans to implement one for viewers.

Even better, and I wish I put this in, they have fully admitted themselves that if it were opt-in, no one would’ve done it. They said the quiet part out loud. www.twitch.tv/twitch/clip/...

Decided to mess around with SVGs and make "What if Mario Kart World had an Electoral College?" I am proud of making the electoral votes match the P-Switches available Mushroom Kingdom Election 2026 (lore can be that it's a cross between the Holy Roman Empire and USA Electoral Colleges 😆)
American Electoral College style version of Mario Kart World's map, the election result is a 197-197 P-Switch Elector tie between Mario and Waluigi

Three panel comic.

First panel : Pikaboi and Galvee, two Pikaboi's OC, are looking towards the viewer. Pikaboi is saying "Hm ? What's up, Coeur ?" and then is quoting Coeur "Why your headphones don't line up with your ears ?"

Second panel : Pikaboi and Galvee remove both their headphones and actual ears, and reveal human ears under them. "But they do ! Look !"

Third panel : Coeur is waking up from a nightmare, and talk to Lily-Rose, who is sleepy "Rose. I had a horrible dream."

In other AI news, Hank Green posted to the Nazi site admitting he uses the plagiarism machine to write his scripts, so that's fun.
Hank Green * @hankgreen

I produced this under a ton of pressure so I went and checked my process from start to finish. I did use ChatGPT for research on this script and watching it I definitely get an Al feel, so I think it's fair to say I was relying too much on generated notes. That's a thing I've been doing and it's a bad habit at a time when l've overcommitted myself.
But I just went to the notes and the script for this and neither contain the "l appreciate the pushback" line, so that particular moment was an ad lib in reference to my guest pushing back on me saying that words are purely made up.

Today is the 11th anniversary of the Gender Recognition Act here in Ireland. I will always celebrate this day as the State finally recognized my gender. Decades of campaigning led to the Act. I owe a debt to those who went before me We were the 4th country in the world to bring in such legislation

in line with the previous posts, pretty much the only meaningful risk factor with estrogen as it relates to HRT is nicotine usage and smoking cigarettes, so it is deeply upsetting to see how much both have made a come back in recent years. girls can you please use literally any other substances 😭

I would REALLY like to see the cat road collisions petition actually get somewhere this time. Two weeks left to get it over the 100k line so ministers can't just shrug and go "nah that's just for dogs" as they have previously. Please sign and share:
petition.parliament.uk
Petition: Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats
It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

Consider Amira Zairi, a self-professed “AI educator” and “ambassador” for Adobe, LeonardoAI, and TripoAI, who posted a scathing rant this week on X-formerly-Twitter to her 49,000 followers. Her complaint? Other people were “plagiarizing” her unique AI prompts.

“‘Make your own prompts’ isn’t advice. It’s basic integrity,” Zairi wrote, using syntax that reads suspiciously like text generated by ChatGPT. “I’m honestly fed up. Changing a few words, renaming the prompt, or slightly rephrasing it doesn’t make it yours, the idea is still the same, the vibe is the same, and the results are obviously similar.”

“And no, this isn’t about one or two people, and it didn’t happen once!!!!” Zairi continued. “Creating your own prompts is actually easier than copying someone else’s work! Try it.”

My earlier tweet about Catherine Connolly hiring a former prisoner, in the form of a letter to the Indo. m.independent.ie/opinion/lett...
Title: "Ní Shionnáin served her sentence - surely she is allowed to rebuild her life?"

I want to clarify something – is it the view of the Taoiseach, and of commentators, that former prisoners should be denied opportunities to rebuild their lives away from violence or criminality, even after they have served their sentence?

Given her qualifications, Ursula Ní Shionnáin was perfectly suited for the role of administrative support for a TD working on the Oireachtas Committee for the Irish language, and Catherine Connolly was in the right to give her a chance.

I think it is much more concerning if our Government thinks that prisoners such as Ní Shionnáin should not be given the opportunity to rehabilitate when they demonstrate a willingness to do so.

As a former employee of the Irish Prison Service, that seems to go against everything that I was told during my training.
