Okay genuinely yeah people who make GenAI images have NO excuse. I havent painted with watercolor since I was a KID. I learned how to paint this in like a few hours thanks to a YouTube tutorial. Its not perfect but I still did it and I'm proud of it qwq

Something to add: If you're opposed to Twitch's GenAI, please show you're also opposed to other GenAI Twitch tools such as FrostyTools and Tangia by not using them! FrostyTools scrapes the raider's profile and chat then uses GenAI to provide a (probably wrong) shoutout. Tangia steals actors' voices!

I want to see more streamers with the "gen AI disabled" badge! After turning off "Training for Generative AI" in your settings, go to safebadge.ori.mx and confirm you are safe from gen AI training (requires Twitch authentication - alternatively put AIOptedOut or NoGenAI in your stream tags/title).

Twitch following list with streamer names blurred out apart from the streamers who have a green "gen AI disabled" badge, that indicates they have turned off generative AI training in their Twitch settings:

- BunnyHearted
- ChiChi
- ProjectC7

for the record this is the equivalent of a white supremacist saying that they respect foreign cultures as long as they stay out of the national ethnostate. it's the kind of fascism of a "brotherhood of nations" that balibar identifies in race nation class ambiguous identities

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

Even if you're just a viewer and not a streamer, tell them through metrics that you reject AI: Twitch.tv > Settings > Security and Privacy > Training for Generative AI: OFF

For my Twitch friends, chatter around the traps is "AIOptedOut" is the tag a lot of folks are going with. Twitch are NOT going to label streams that are opted in, so it's our responsibility to ensure folks know our streams are safe and a consistent tag is a good start. #AIOptedOut #Twitch #VSky

If you're a Patreon creator, go to your Relationship Manager and use this filter to see if anyone's subscribed through the iOS app. If they are, you can send them a DM through the site asking them to switch to subscribing through a browser.

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

If there is one lesson I have learned in this fucking awful, exhausting culture war, it is that if you dont stand for something then the people watching you will see that it's okay to not stand for something. Every Tim Horton's purchase you don't make now makes Harry Potter more harmful to market.

Mike Friedman@mfriedmannola.bsky.social · last mo.

Don't fucking buy Tim Horton's food, y'all. Don't buy anything that ties with with Harry Potter. DO NOT GIVE THAT GARBAGE PERSON ANY MORE OF YOUR MONEY. She doesn't need another cent of it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In the "Waltz of the Boos" theme from Super Mario Galaxy, the pizzicato arpeggio in the beginning and throughout the song spells out "DEADEAD DEADEAD". Whether the usage of the sequence "DEAD" for a ghostly theme is deliberate or merely a fitting coincidence is unknown.

A heads up that AI *was* used here. The developer also seems to be fond of ableist slurs, which you know, very cool to see in 2026.

Post from the recomp developer on Twitter. It reads:

"see, that's the reason you're fucking retarded. you didn't even bother going through my portfolio or my public github repo. 

i literally write emulators whenever i have time in my yearly vacation 

here's my GB CPU emulator from two years ago

GBA CPU emulator from last year

I only used AI this year for the PepsiMan recomp because the work is always gonna be incomplete cuz it needs way more time than just my 10 days summer vacation. and i contributed to psxrecomp project too."

Not even 24 hours after later, and out of nowhere, the universe send us a #PepsiMan #Recomp Or rather, a dev named "Kareem Olim" Who has single-handedly recompiled this gem and made it playable directly in your browser pepsiman.ol.mr No A.I was used here. #retrogaming #decomp #PS1 #decomp #gaming
