As an FYI as well, for those who think the use of genAI in the art may be speculative, the devs behind Aniimo have announced that they're adding genAI driven interactions into the creatures in the game. www.aniimo.com/newslist/det...

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

So... Netflix only lets you pause your account for 3 months and says if you cancel you will lose access to all personalization and recommendations and your list. But when you actually cancel, they say "oh, come back within 24 months and we'll hold onto your info for ya, no worries!" 🫪

Took my computer(laptop) to a free repair cafe for cleaning. James, a software engineer, had a look, said she runs hot, ran tests, laptop hit 89°C. Thermal paste was replaced roughly 2 years ago but I didnt trust those people fully... Open up my gal and... jeeeeeez 😬 (Read alt text for description)
An image of a laptop, upside down with the cover removed, exposing the internal components. The piece on the left is the cooling system, made of copper, which circulates a cooling fluid as it heats to keep the laptop cool. Circled in red are areas where thermal paste is supposed to be. There is little/none where it's supposed to be, indicating that the last people OP trusted to remove and re-apply the thermal paste did not do their job correctly and used minimal resources (potentially a small drop of paste).

This is in the document they linked to by the way. The opt out button is meaningless if this is what their policy states.
II. Responsible Training Data Practices
For the generative AI services we make available to our customers, we train and test on a range of data intended to enhance our services’ capabilities. We may train and test on licensed and proprietary datasets, synthetic datasets, open-source datasets, and publicly available content (including web crawled data). These datasets may include text, images, audio, video, code, and other types of data relevant to the service’s purpose. These datasets may contain public domain content, rights-protected material, and in some cases, personal information or aggregate consumer information. We train and select the models that power our generative AI services to help deliver more accurate, helpful, and relevant responses, and to help support the features and functionality of the service, such as by responding to natural language queries, recognizing visual content, generating relevant recommendations, or creating useful content.

Hey y'all! I finally finished and uploaded my "AI Opted Out" graphic asset for Twitch! It can be used as a panel and/or an overlay element. It is 100% free but if you'd like to help me afford some HEPA filters for my asthma you can tip my ko-fi! Download: ko-fi.com/s/d80815996b Examples in 🧵
A square promotional graphic. The background is a pale yellow geometric honeycomb pattern. In the center is a frame with a thin brown outline, rounded corners, and a transparent white background. At the top of the frame in bold tan lettering is the title which reads "Free Twitch Panel & Overlay Asset". Underneath the title is significantly smaller text that reads "320x250". Below that is the subtitle that reads "multiple color options". Under the subtitle is the advertised graphic asset design. A large bold black text "AI" with a red crossed out circle above it. Just below it is slightly smaller, bold and bubbly red text that reads "opted out". The design is outlined in white, and then outlined in a slightly thinner black.

There you have it.
so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said:

1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in

2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you

3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

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).

Perfectly said for full-time creators like me. I can’t just up and leave Twitch. I’d be screwed cause YouTube ain’t it, especially after last year’s incident that I’m *still* being punished for. All we can do is advise folks to turn off the AI pushes from Amazon. Fight back but don’t vilify us.
