The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

This looks like the sort of headline you’d find on the ground in a post-apocalyptic video game to help explain why there was an apocalypse.

Headline reads “scientists just unleashed an army of 130,000 baby octopuses”

I'm so tired. 😑 A direct link to the setting (next to last from the very bottom): www.twitch.tv/settings/sec... And more details in their Account Settings FAQ: help.twitch.tv/s/article/tw...

From Twitch's Frequently Asked Questions

What are "generative AI content models," and what does it mean for my content to be used to train them?

Generative AI content models are AI tools that can help create or synthesize content outputs like text or images when given instructions or prompts because they are also trained on content. When you allow training, that means that your content may be used for future Gen AI model improvements. An example of what happens when you allow your content to be used for training a GenAI content model is that your audio might help refine models that create speech to text, which would help improve captions at Twitch but would also help improve captions across Amazon.

From Twitch's Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does opting out cover? What doesn't it cover?

If you opt-out and decide to not allow your channel content to train Generative AI content models, your streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and pictures and text on your channel will not be used in future training of a model developed by Amazon whose purpose is to generate or synthesize text, audio, images, or video.

Opting-out of training generative AI content models does not opt you out of all AI or machine learning uses at Twitch. For example, Twitch will still run AutoMod, which helps keep our community safe, but does not retain your data and use it to produce content. Twitch may also still use your data to run AI-supported features, like captions, which automatically generate captions for your Clips but does not retain your stream or your clips to train a model that can generate new content.

From Twitch's Frequently Asked Questions

If I opt out, will other AI-powered features like Captions or safety tools still work on my channel?

Yes. There are two important differences between Generative AI content models and AI-supported features at Twitch.

1) AI-supported features at Twitch do not retain your content and then use it to train models that create new videos, images, or text.

2) Twitch users have separate controls for many of the AI-supported features we're releasing. For example, streamers can turn on AutoMod and can adjust captions settings.

From Twitch's Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I opt-out of all AI uses at Twitch?

Where AI works to help you create content or to help viewers understand your content, you do have controls over how it is used, and you can manage those in your settings.

Other AI works differently. Some of it runs the service itself, the same way our servers and our code do. Some of it keeps the service secure. And some of it, like AutoMod, protects the whole community. Turning those off for one person would weaken safety and security for everyone else on the platform, so they are not individual settings.

What channel content (clips, chat, metadata, etc.) is eligible to be used for generative AI training?

Your stream and the stream's chat, your VODs, your Clips, Highlights, and any text or images on your Channel may be used. If you chat on someone else's stream, their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training.

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).

Unfortunately the news Twitch will be doing AI and supposedly not offering full opt out means I will not be very concerned if I never get back to a regular stream schedule. But it sucks for people with less flexibility to reduce or abandon the platform.
