Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

🚨 Twitch users, turn off this setting if you don't agree with Amazon training their AI on your Twitch content. I think it's so predatory that they opt you in by default, and they have put it in your account privacy settings, not in the creator dashboard or channel settings. Not impressed Twitch.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 2mo ago

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).

This move by Twitch will be unsurprising to me, but it is immensely disappointing. The best we can do is have our say on this on this UserVoice: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... The longevity of this investor bait continues to astound me, and I will continue to wait for its collapse.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 2mo ago

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.

Felt like revisiting MSPaint and had a bunch of fun painting this on stream today! #art #MSPaint #digitalpainting

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow of two white roses that have grown right next to each other. Sunlight is cast across them, making them radiate the light, and is dappled across the dark leaves around them.

If you don't like what Twitch is planning regarding their upcoming AI midstream summary feature go and vote on this uservoice post. Super important to make your voice heard to Twitch about this!

Kirsty Arts@kirstyarts.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Join me in saying "NOPE" to the AI stream summary feature Twitch is experimenting with via this lovely uservoice by Dashnir. Please share! twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31020...

#HKAM26 And that's another #HollowKnight art month completed! This may have been the best time I've had in an art month yet! Huge thanks to @silksongsketcher.bsky.social for running this event once again! Here's a compilation of all 31 pieces I created for the month. #art #Silksong

Silksong Sketcher @silksongsketcher.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Dear Twitch, No. Best wishes, Me and probably every artist on the platform.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 4mo ago

Twitch will soon use AI to add a Midstream Summary for viewers, giving a brief overview of what's happened on stream so far.

#HKAM26 Day 31 - Flea: Awoo! #HollowKnight #Silksong #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet sits in the middle of a small dimly lit room, surrounded by many fluffy round creatures called fleas. These fleas are not like fleas from the real world, but adorable fuzzballs of cuteness. A particularly large ball of fluff is lying behind her.

#HKAM26 Day 30 - Courier: What a fun pair these lads are. #HollowKnight #Silksong #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong.

A light dangling from above illuminates the scene.

#HKAM26 Day 29 - Dream No More: I wonder what thoughts crossed Hornet's mind as she watched the void drain away. #HollowKnight #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight. In a dimly lit room, a character called Hornet looks down from the edge of a shallow pit to a cracked skull object in a pool of pitch black fluid, the remnants of the game's main character. The perspective of the painting is from within the pit, looking between the two halves of the cracked skull to Hornet beyond. A number of round lights hang from the ceiling above.

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. In a dimly lit room, the main character Hornet looks cautiously at a dormant metal figure who is standing in a shattered glass tube.

#HKAM26 Day 27 - Kingdom's Edge: Ah the strange wonders of the edge of the kingdom. #HollowKnight #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight. We look up a misty cylindrical chasm from below. A huge wall rises up one side, and Rocky outcroppings make up the rest. The game's main character, the knight, stands on one of the outcroppings looking up. The corpses of fighters fall down from high above, with a couple having come to rest on some of the outcroppings. Some bulbous flying bugs are suspended in the bright air high above.

#HKAM26 Day 24 - Abyss: Be wary when facing the abyss, for you may become lost in it. #HollowKnight #Silksong #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a dimly lit scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet kneels on a small ledge and looks down over it, gazing into a dark abyss of writhing tendrils. Dark threads rise up out of this abyss, strung up into the ceiling up above. Thin pillars create archways over Hornet and dark vines dangle from them.

Numerous pots of lacquer are scattered around the edges of the room.
