In Mario Kart: Double Dash, shadows in the environment do not follow any kind of lighting logic and appear to have been placed solely based on "vibe". This results in shadows being cast in nearly every possible direction at the same time.

If we can't opt out of this, this effectively puts an end to my hobby because I absolutely refuse to give a constant stream of voices, vocal clips, audio, to AI systems that'll use it without my consent I signed the petition demanding default opt-out but frankly, I just don't want this shit at all.

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.
