I watch as the USA falls over the edge into Nazism, wondering who is going to finally punch the MFers in charge out of office. Cause the vote won't cut it as the weapon.

So this is basically live blatant content theft by Amazon.
For many Twitch creators, the policy allowing Amazon to use streamers’ content to train generative AI by default came as an unwelcome surprise from a platform that’s long touted authenticity.
‘Slap to the face’: Twitch creators respond to platform policy on Gen AI content
A Twitch executive said its parent company chose to use streamers’ content to train AI by default because “nobody would opt in.”

This is what we get for not reading the ToS (and those little "important terms update" emails they send every 6 months).

Twitch content has trained Amazon AI for years, but users can opt out now
Streaming platform says user-generated content "may be used for future Gen AI model improvements."

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.

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

It was 1994.
She was a pretty 13 year-old girl ; prettier than Ivanka Trump.
She was raped in FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS by DONALD TRUMP.
After numerous death threats, out of fear, she dropped her lawsuit ; the only officially filed one.

They never respected the troops.
The website still says 14. One of the service members not being counted is Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad from Queens. She was married to a woman she met in the Army, and one of our podcast listeners pointed out that fact was not acknowledged at a recent memorial service. So I am acknowledging it here.
As of this morning, Trump's Pentagon still only counts 14 service members as having been killed in the War in Iran. The Pentagon claimed last night it was a tech error. It has not been fixed. They are refusing to count four service members.
