I morn growing up in the US and not having a cultural mythology. My ancestry is technically German, but I don't have a connection to it. So wanting to accept any mythology feels like appropriation.

I hate being able to see the "good" uses of generative AI. "Good" being the use cases that it can actually help with. Because using it for the "good" cases means accepting all the terrible shit it does and what it takes to make it

I have had a terrible string of "I'm stressed, I'll take X day off." The X day proceeds to be full of house issues, me getting sick, my kid getting sick or another kind of Thing ™️ that I must deal with instead of relaxing from my stress

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.

If you stream, you may wanna toggle this off. Not that it probably matters cos these cunts will train their fascist machine regardless. But figured you'd like to know, at least.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

We’ve really gotta stop blaming our phones for problems capitalism created. The reason community is hard is not because we’re on our phones too much. It’s because even though we’re wired for connection, we were all raised to be consumers. And under capitalism, even love is transactional.
