If anyone would be willing to help us get an air purifier for our downstairs, we would really appreciate it. The air quality is awful, and combo'd with the heat wave, it's a lot. This was literally the sun this morning. ko-fi.com/silascallisto

We’re currently at $80/$400. Thank you for the support so far. I unfortunately wasn’t able to make enough funds to get a rental vehicle. If you’re able to help out, I would appreciate it.

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

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.

This is pathetically sad.

YouTuber Hank Green Admits He Has Unhealthy Relationship With AI After Facing Backlash Over Recent Video 'The level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy for me,' said Green

Of course moving day would come with horrible smoke and heat 🫠 wish us luck lmao

Twitch seems to be planning to use all streams to train generative AI. If you care about streaming, you should support this uservoice asking them to make all AI features optional and turned off by default. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Hank Green not being smart enough to see that a LLM is an idiot's way of trying to be smart about Everything is disillusioning! the kind of thing that makes you wonder how much shallower the rest of the knowledge base he presents is, and in which circumstances real research actually feels justified

Packed, except for the few things that are either dishes drying or stuff Korra needs etc., and both d and I are already exhausted. I packed before work, then worked, then did more tonight with only brief breaks and 😵‍💫😵‍💫 gonna be up earlier than I'd like and gonna be a hot, long, overstimulating day

Here's a uservoice (not mine) shared to demand all GenAI features are opt-out by default on Twitch. GenAI shouldn't exist as it does in the first place but at the very least we all deserve to have our boundaries respected. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...
