So this is basically live blatant content theft by Amazon.

NBC News@nbcnews.com

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.

This is what we get for not reading the ToS (and those little "important terms update" emails they send every 6 months). "When asked [...] in 2024 if Amazon uses Twitch to train AI models, Twitch’s chief monetization officer at the time, Mike Minton, said, 'Yeah, for sure.'"

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

The French Conseil d'Etat has rejected a Bill banning social media access for under-15s, citing: - failure of the proportionality test; - insufficient privacy protections; - blanket nature of the ban; - insufficient evidence of targeting *harmful* platforms. 1/2

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

What will the media companies who are publishing stories that Blanche agreed to a “deal” with Cornyn & Tillis to kill the slush fund write when people start getting paid with our tax dollars & this whole thing is revealed as a sham? Since they aren’t writing how it’s a sham now.

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. Imagine his other victims ... #RememberBeforeYouVote‼️

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

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.

I really hope everybody understands that everything repugs say about Social Security is about one thing THEM STEALING EVERY SINGLE CENT OF THAT FUND FOR THEIR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS AND NOTHING ELSE!

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

HAPPENING NOW: Madison, WI: Madison Police Department murdered someone, shooting 3 times in the head at point blank range. Crowd forms in outrage at the scene, near the location where MPD also murdered unarmed teenager Tony Robinson 11 years ago.

@meidastouch.com , surely your correspondent or investigative reporters can dig into this.

Four weeks. Mitch McConnell has been completely out of public view, hospitalized since mid-June with zero transparency from his office. Is he alive? Brain dead? Recovering? Yet DC reporters can’t be bothered to demand real answers or even basic updates. The media’s selective silence is deafening.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

@mark-carney.bsky.social ? The global alliance needs to declare this leader unfit. bsky.app/profile/chro... The "Islamic Republic of Japan"? This "leader" is not fit to his any responsibility, and must be called out publicly to the world, by the NATO alliance.

David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

@raskin.house.gov @sanders.senate.gov This is so unhinged that this moron must be uniformly declared unfit, and brought up, along with all the counter facts, at every hearing even remotely touching on 47's fitness for office because he obviously never was, and never will be, but a gaff like this?

independent.co.ukTrump says US shot missiles at ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’ in latest baffling fumbleThe president also confused Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he was seated next to, and the Ukrainian president’s arch foe, Vladimir Putin, in the same session

We also live in a world where chimps & apes have warring clans, Amazonian ants have daily million-atrong casualty battles with neighboring colonies, crows eat baby robins fallen from the nest, dolphins have literal roving rape gangs, and cats will blind or kill each other. There's hope and despair.
