Sam Altman looks like he's worried he's going to get caught doing something he knows he shouldn't be doing in almost every photograph I've of him. What is it, Sam? What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO??
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it’s “quite terrible” that people have so much DRAM sitting in their own PCs instead of being used in data centers.
“Everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time,”
He argues that cloud data centers should make better use of limited memory supplies instead of people running AI models locally.
At this stage of the game, I am more interested in seeing a "Made with Unreal Engine" tag requirement on Steam than "Made with AI"
So this is @TimSweenyEpic using politically charged rhetoric to sway your opinion about whether or not Steam should require developers to disclose use of AI in a game's development. Apparently he believes allowing you to make informed choices is anti-consumer. What a clown 🤡

Big fan of being able to disable stupid skins in Call of Duty, all the Fortnite styled nonsense that's been plaguing the game for years going *poof* with a toggle? Yes please! Now bring COD to Linux and I just might come back!
Today, I discovered that I do not like peanut butter and banana in my coffee, and that adding a bit of chocolate does not improve the flavor profile as I had hoped. I tell you this to save you the unfortunate waste of a perfectly good cup of coffee should you become curious. ☕
Hot Take: Saying "Ahh" to circumvent an in-game chat filter's censorship of "Ass" is rather silly. Takes all of the bite out of anything you're trying to say. It sounds infantile. Total aura loss.

A relatively popular Twitch Browser Extension exposed 30,000 users' OAuth tokens to a Russian bot service.
According to Socket's Threat Research Team, users downloaded it as it promised to block Twitch ads, force 1080p, and auto-collect channel points.
Users: Remove the extension from Chrome/Firefox, then disconnect all sessions and reauthenticate.

Twitch updated its Privacy Notice.
They added information on how it uses personal information to test and improve technology, including machine learning and AI.
See the full document here: legal.twitch.com/legal/priva…
ALT How Twitch Uses Personal Information Twitch uses such information to operate, maintain, enhance, provide, create, and develop all of the features, functionality, and services (new or existing) found on the Twitch Services; provide security for our websites, products, software, applications, or live (in-person) events; manage relationships with Twitch account holders (for example, Partners, Affiliates), including making or receiving payment; improve users’ experience with Twitch by providing content recommendations and by delivering content that we hope users will find relevant and interesting, including advertising and marketing messages; allow you to comment on content, and participate in online games, contests, or rewards programs; prevent fraud and abuse; understand the usage trends of our users; and to test and improve technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to support and enhance the customer experience across our products and services.

An interesting point. And what about reaction streams? If someone opts-out of AI training, but someone else reacts to that person's content on their stream with AI training enabled? Or simply plays a clip as many people do with shoutouts?
The illusion of choice is no choice at all.
Translation: "We know you would never let us do this, so we're not going to ask, but we're going to let you opt out after we already scraped your existing data and pretend we gave you a choice. Everyone else is doing it anyway!"
This should only ever be Opt-In. You know damned well people aren't going to see your X post and you're counting on that to get as much training data as possible. Informed consent requires being informed. This is unethical and you goddamned well know it, @TwitchSupport/@Twitch.
We've added a setting that lets you opt out of having your channel content used to train generative AI content models across Amazon.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important Context:
Opting out will not prevent your data being used if you chat on someone else's stream and they left this setting at the default.

"If you chat on someone else's stream, their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training."
