This is What an AI Generated Danger Tag From World Labelled Earth Looks Like come the fuck on, man. fuck

Screenshot of a YouTube video thumbnail for jakkuh's "This is What a $40,000 Inspection Looks Like" upload as of September 28th, 2026, uploaded 10 hours ago. His face is on the left side, and an AI generated "danger inspection notice" tag is on the right.

There are fields for "equipment", "vocation", "violation", and "date". The date (April 19th, 2024) is handwritten in a field for "violation". "ELECTRICAL CODE VIOLATION, DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG," is written above the fields with differing commas. Kerning on all of the text is inconsistent. Weird lines appear on the metal holder... thing of the tag.

twitch says *you are responsible* for what's shown on your stream when it comes to non-chat use of gifs

Considerations of GIF Use

GIFs you send are your responsibility. Your use of GIFs must comply with Twitch's Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. GIFs are for use in chat; streamers that use GIFs in additional non-chat ways do so at their own risk.

so fucking help me i will never play a new beat saber map ever again. i've got a list i can survive off of not bothering censoring names

Mawntee: Wanna play an AI generated map that actually kinda bangs?

Mawntee: It's not BeatSage. It's a new WIP model that's almost entirely made through manual algorithms and reinforcement learning. No BeatSaver data or anythign was used/scraped for training the dataset. And it's locally ran. End goal for the tool is for a "generative fill" type thing for mappers.

really wish i could shake everyone making these same statements until they think about what they're saying for 10 seconds, you all know damn well intellisense is not fucking AI generation. slippery slope ass motherfuckers need to shut up

@ locki.bsky.social It depends on what "ai code assistance" entails I suppose. Because technically intellisense in Visual Studio and similar are technically a form of AI Code Assistance.

twitch users (not just streamers!) there's a setting in your account security settings you might want to check on had no idea it was there until it was brought to my attention today

hate doing this but, i've got a procedure coming up (today) that's likely going to wipe out a huge chunk of our FSA funds. minimed has given us *some* relief for my insulin pump supplies but didn't retroactively apply it to the charges for earlier in the year. at this point i can't order more

oh yeah friendly mention if you stream and the streamer has FrostyToolsDotCom in their chat, it's a bot that will gather information about you (to an uncomfortable level) in order to generate a "perky" about you sentence for shoutouts you can prevent it from doing this! email hello@frostytools.com

(email from me to hello@frostytools.com, subject line "I do not consent to have this bot generate AI summaries of me and my content.")

me:
Hi,

I reached out on Twitter to Ken/Frosty a bit ago when I learned of what this bot does concerning raids and shoutouts, and I do not want this bot trying to summarize me or my content. I've already blocked the bot's Twitch account in hopes it would fail to read/learn anything about me, and it seems to still be able to see me.

Please make your software ignore me. There is no option to opt-out. I'm far from the only person uncomfortable with your bot.

I'd also like to have any and all data on my Twitch account deleted.

My Twitch is theblackparrot, user ID 43464015.

Thanks,
Parrot

frostytools response:
Hi Parrot,

Hope this finds you well, and apologies for the slow response. I’ve spoken with Ken, and we’ve taken care of this for you. Please let us know if you have any further issues.

Warmest regards,

..sebastian

as a heads up to those with photosensitivity, if you can filter out emotes at all, you may want to hide this emote flashes between full black and full white every frame and it's a high-framerate emote

looking at the CSS, the most it can extend is somewhere around 10rem, which if they define font-size using px (i can't find specifically what they use, 10pt is ~14px), it'll extend down 140px at the most. the same thing can be achieved if you use a long now live notification. message body is 7rem
