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.

Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence

Despite rising concerns about sycophancy—excessive agreement or flattery from artificial intelligence (AI) systems—little is known about its prevalence or consequences. We show that sycophancy is wide...

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Floyd's Warped Mind A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used Al models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often Al agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the Al simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of. Call your reps NOW.

And those who slept, the ancient ones, awoke, For their dreams had been devoured By a demon that prowled the Fade As a wolf hunts a herd of deer. Taking first the weakest and frailest of hopes, And when there was nothing left, Destroying the bright and bold By subtlety and ambush and cruel arts.

Page 1 of a 3 page comic. EXALTATIONS 1:7 Written by bygonesigh Illustrated by paragonraptors Panel 1: [An establishing shot of the Fade. The Inquisitor and their companions are in Nightmare's Lair from Here Lies the Abyss. The silhouettes of Varric and Solas walk towards a graveyard.] VARRIC: A graveyard. This keeps getting better. Panel 2: [A full-body view of Solas walking behind Varric.] VARRIC: This demon isn't very creative, is it? SOLAS: Must it be? Death is a common fear. VARRIC: Spiders, graveyards....Nothing to spice it up. Typical. Panel 3: [Varric looks behind his shoulder.] VARRIC: None of it is getting to you, Solas? Not even a little? Panel 4: [Solas looks down at Varric.] It is unsettling perhaps-- but the Fade and the spirits within are nothing to be feared if one is vigilant. Panel 5: [Varric from behind, scratching the back of his head.] VARRIC: Must be nice. To like the Fade, that is. Can't say I'm fond of it.Page 2 of a 3 page comic. Panel 1: [Varric and Solas stand in front of two headstones.] VARRIC: Creepy. Panel 2: [A headstone with the Kirkwall emblem and text in Elvish.] CAPTION: Varric Tethras: Become his parents. Panel 3: [Looking at Varric and Solas from a high angle. Varric's arms are outstretched towards the headstone with incredulousness.] VARRIC: You've gotta be kidding me. SOLAS: Not what you expected? Panel 4: [Varric steps forward, looking back at Solas while pointing at the headstone.] VARRIC: This is what the demon came up with? SOLAS: You'll have to elaborate. VARRIC: It's basic. Vague. Tells you nothing you didn't already know.Page 3 of a 3 page comic. Panel 1: [Varric looking up at Solas.] VARRIC: Does it think we'll be more terrified of our friends knowing our fears than the fears themselves? The scary part isn't who knows, it's facing it. Working through it. Panel 2: [Solas looking down at Varric with an expression that is left up to viewer interpretation. His brows are slightly furrowed and his lips are parted.] VARRIC: Shouldn't have said that out loud. I'm giving it ideas. Panel 3: [A reverse shot. Solas looks over his shoulder as Varric walks away towards the camera. Varric's speech bubble is stylized as he mutters.] VARRIC: All this shit is weird. Panel 4: [Solas continues to watch Varric walk away.] Panel 5: [Solas looks down.] Panel 6: [There are flowers in front of Solas' feet where Varric walked.] Panel 7: [Solas steps through the flowers. They wither under his feet.] Panel 8: [The headstone Solas had been standing in front of. It has the theater mask of Fen'harel with Elvish text. The flowers in front of Varric's headstone remain while they're withered in front of Solas'] CAPTION: Solas: Dying alone.

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math. $3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr
