Assuming any of this is real, I will burn my stream to the ground and bury the ashes if they want to start feeding my streams to the Gen AI machine. I'll stream somewhere else. Nowhere. I don't care. I'll go outside and setup a projector or something. I'm so fucking sick of this. No one wants this.

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.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Run time end since the website doesn't let me do photo and video in the same post Thanks everyone for hanging out and allowing me to hang around them as well, always a pleasure to be with friends even if it's for a week

My hot take is that regarding Congress like it's analogous to some normal workplace with colleagues who are all ultimately on the same team is exactly the thing everybody is disgusted by, because politics and policy are real to them, because they are not smug cloistered fucking nitwits.

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.
