So this is basically live blatant content theft by Amazon.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 2w agoFor many Twitch creators, the policy allowing Amazon to use streamers’ content to train generative AI by default came as an unwelcome surprise from a platform that’s long touted authenticity.
This is what we get for not reading the ToS (and those little "important terms update" emails they send every 6 months). "When asked [...] in 2024 if Amazon uses Twitch to train AI models, Twitch’s chief monetization officer at the time, Mike Minton, said, 'Yeah, for sure.'"

What will the media companies who are publishing stories that Blanche agreed to a “deal” with Cornyn & Tillis to kill the slush fund write when people start getting paid with our tax dollars & this whole thing is revealed as a sham? Since they aren’t writing how it’s a sham now.
Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

I really hope everybody understands that everything repugs say about Social Security is about one thing THEM STEALING EVERY SINGLE CENT OF THAT FUND FOR THEIR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS AND NOTHING ELSE!
Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
