The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

Twitch's "Allow your channel content to train generative AI models" setting is here and on by default. Go turn that shit off, streamer!! The toggle is under your Settings, then 'Security and Privacy'
Twitch automatically ordered everyone poop for dinner!
Being in tech right now feels like everyone around you got convinced that eating poop is really good for you, so now they all treat you like you’re crazy for not thinking that eating poop is good for you, and also if you don’t eat the poop you’re putting your career at risk.
We have signed you up for free to use the Dick-Ripping-Off Machine. This is standard practice for new features. Nobody would use the Dick-Ripping-Off Machine if they had to sign up manually, but we believe the Dick-Ripping-Off Machine will create new value
PSA: Twitch has AUTOMATICALLY opted you in for ANY content on your channel to be used to train gen-AI. Make sure you go to Settings > Security and Privacy to opt-out, as I have done. Note that this ONLY opts you out on YOUR OWN channel.
Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...
Them admitting "no one would opt in" is laughably embarrassing. What a fucking out of touch greedy company. You're not respecting anyone by shoving AI everywhere.
Twitch isn't making Gen AI training *opt-in* because no one would voluntarily choose to opt in. Instead, they are offering an opt-out option.

The irony of an AI journally company liking this post where i'm ranting about doing very human things without ai was not lost on me. Get AI out of our fucking lives. Go touch grass and enjoy nature.
I've been journaling for just under a year now so I could actually chart the progress I've made. Since about September last year I've added so much value to the quality of my life by using my brain regularly.
It's been nearly a year, but I'll be streaming for 24-30hrs on Friday October 9- Saturday October 10th! We're raising money for Children's Specialized Hospital through Extra Life! It's the most important stream i do each year! More Info/Donate: dd.extra-life.org/participants...
Extra Life | Make Big Change For All Kids
I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network hospital! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to Make Big Change For All Kids.

I keep seeing this post floating around. I've been working specifically on repairing my brain for nearly a year now. It's been such a striking contrast of me learning new skills in juxtaposition to tech bros trying to go full AI for literally everything. It feels like having super powers. (1/?)
I have one answer.
Thank you for supporting Help Kids Heal! During a time when words like "evidence-based" and "trauma-informed" could defund your work, it's incredible to see ppl come together to expand kids' mental health access. We doubled our original fundraising goal! Thank you for making healing possible.
live with the actual earthbound finale and final day of 16bit!! we still have some fun milestones and rewards! www.twitch.tv/dj_celloo
Tonight around 6:30 PM CST we're starting our 16Bit fundraising for NCA!! I'm really excited to play some old games from my childhood and also continue our Earthbound playthrough! Lurks and shares appreciated 💜
Please God I have never asked for anything but if this goes live let the combined might of every single game studio's legal department come crashing down on Amazon like the fury of a thousand suns for training AI on the games we stream. 🙏
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.
For people who aren't familiar, User Voice is one of the main ways Twitch tries to listen to the community. Go vote if you agree with the topic, leave your thoughts in the post's comments. Try to be polite, even if the topic infuriates you. You don't have to be a streamer to have an opinion on this
Tell Twitch to leave out AI at this link! Its seriously just a button click as long as ur signed into Twitch! twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.
nice, now Stripe is auto-opting people into a nickel charge per transaction for "AI-enhanced" protection shit they never asked for you can change it back to their free "Lite" version, but the fact that it's opt-out by default is so fucking annoying
This week I'm helping raise money for the National Children's Alliance through the 16BIT event! Come by during stream to donate to a wonderful cause!
please stop shoving AI everywhere 😭 Ty for sharing how to turn it off!
so in case you're wondering why this is showing up out of nowhere this is twitch using the same tech as the AI stream summary to monitor your stream for you saying this since most people turned off the AI stream summary you can turn this off too by going to Settings -> Stream in your dashboard

We're about two weeks away from our 16-day marathon run of Earthbound with Crowd Control. Donate to National Children's Alliance, sabotage my game, and even collect a cute little chat badge for hanging out! 🩷 Every $100 milestone unlocks a bonus stream of a cursed game.

I see people saying “I would use alt text but I keep forgetting!” Thankfully, @bsky.app has a setting for that. - Go to Settings - Then Accessibility - Toggle “Require alt text before posting” to the active setting. Now Bluesky will remind you to add alt text to all of your posts.
