Heads up for those concerned about Twitch's new AI training policy: The streamer's settings are what dictates the eligibility of chat content for AI training, not the chatter's. Check with the streamers you watch to ensure they have disabled these features. Keep yourselves safe!

A screenshot from Twitch's official help article regarding generative AI training. Text reads: "What channel content (clips, chat, metadata, etc.) is eligible to be used for generative AI training? Your stream and the stream's chat, your VODs, your Clips, Highlights, and any text or images on your Channel may be used. If you chat on someone else's stream, their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training."

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU! #SciArt #endometriosis #fibroids #adenomyosis

cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - FIBROIDS- non-cancerous abnormal growths of muscle tissue extremely common, 2/3, ~50% asymptomatic unclear origin, estrogen? progesterone? at higher risk: African Caribbean, family history, early periods, obesity heavy bleeds, anemia, back pain infertility constipation, frequent urination Dr. Platypus fact: one of the biggest fibroid was 28kg in a 53 year old Singaporean patient! the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the different type of fibroids: pedunculate (outside), pedunculate (inside), subserosal, submucosal, utnramuralcartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ENDOMETRIOSIS- endometrial-like tissue growing outside of the uterus unclear origin (cells escaping fallopian tube at menstruation, immune dysfunction, local estrogen production, circulation, surgery, genetics) Dr. Platypus fact: endometriotic lesions were even found in the brain, which caused neurological and psychiatric symptoms! ~8 years to get diagnosed 1/10 people bleeding outside and inside infertility pelvic PAIN! during intercourse, bowel movement, urination, or for no good reason nausea the middle drawing is of an uterus, guts, kidneys ovaries and bladder covered in pink endometriotic lesions, none of the organs are happy about it, one ovary has a massive pink chocolate cyst on it (a cyst full of endometrial tissue and blood)cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ADENOMYOSIS- endometrial tissue frowing inside the muscles of the uterus 1/10 people, and they might not even have symptoms (one figure sayinh you telling me WHAT??) unclear origin... shocking i know... estrogen?? other hormones? most likely in: +30 years, abdominal surgery, given birth heavy abnormal bleeding, anemia, pain bloating, fullness infertility Dr. Platypus fact:you can have endometriosis, adenomyosis, and firboids ALL AT ONCE!... and they all have similar symptoms the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the endometrial tissue growing within the muscle: focal (adenomyoma), diffuse, enlarged uteruscartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - MANAGING- there is no one-size-fits-all treatment, care ranges from less to more invasive first you need to diagnose the problem: ultrasound, blood markers, Magnetic Resonanse Imaging (MRI), surgery etc. PAIN CONTROL: painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, heating pads or hot water bottles, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) HORMONAL MEDICATION: IUS, mini pill, implants (progestogen only), combined pill, patches (progestogen + estrogen), hypothalamus pills injections (GnRH agonists and antagonists) SURGERY (diagnostic, to alleviate symptoms, and curative) laparoscopy, transvaginal hysteroscopy, abdominal (all biopsied) diseased tissue removal by laser or surgical hysterectomy: curative for adenomyosis and fibroids, but harder to access if <45 Dr. Platypus fact: platypuses don't have a uterus*(long oviduct, sometimes called the "uterus") so don't need to worry about any of this

the culmination of one year of collaborative work on a #SciArt zine discussing gynecological issues, finally in print form! from a lovely team from the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social with special thanks to Dr @talkswithdrsesay.bsky.social and Dr Gioia Canciani for reviewing the contents! 🥼🩸

You know what time it is. Starting off with Stygian! An excess of calcium leads to growths on the neck. Migrant scales give it the unsettling visual of skulls, giving rise to an urban myth that this deathclaw shepherds the souls of those it devours to the afterlife.

Digital art of a black deathclaw with a red-orange underbelly. It has forward-raking glossy spines that cradle a neck covered entirely in ivory globes with blots that look like eye sockets on a skull. Its face also bears a rough skull marking, with glowing eyes. A closeup of the previous image, focusing on the face and neck.

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 will say as a service industry physical laborer in the furry community we need to acknowledge how bad of a problem we have uplifting the blue collar workforce that makes up most of our community like. i see posts celebrating The STEM and art and medical but never our postal workers or janitors.
