Oh boy- more news from hellworld. Hey- Twitch isn't my living, but it is the enrichment in my enclosure, and would rather NOT see some of my dearest friend's main income source crash and burn in the name of AI. Let them know what you think of these possible plans:

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

You think you're an improver just because you're a better artist than you were yesterday? You have to be not just better than you were yesterday, you have to be better than you will be tomorrow. Your only competition is yourself? Alright, win then.

Sorry to basically trace over my own art (only for spyro) but I decided to go ahead and design my own Adult Elora! Based on her reignited and original appearance!! As for spyro, barely any updates for him except for his realms beyond traits!

Elora, as an older adult faun. She has antlers now. The original base design had a chipped antler but I was already making her asymmetrical enough plus my adult Spyro had a chipped horn already and he uses his horns way more than her.

Adult Elora has a mix of her modern and classic designs by having her lower half be red and having a long fox-like tail, but her skin and muzzle are still tan above the waist. Her haircut is shorter, scrappier, and her clothes imply that she's been learning to weave vines and leaves better. She has a friendship bracelet colored purple for Spyro.

This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book.

We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
