will not be used in future training of a model

Sounds like it already HAD trained on all your content before you maybe opted out. But hey, it's an american platform, so one has to be grateful for the opt-out-option at all.

All your internet activity are belong to us

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

And it's already >9000 of it...

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago

The opt out is new, not them training AI on your content.

Well duh, if there’s no regulation or ethics committee, it’s going to happen.

Edited: spelling

Half of the Internet traffic is now bots and scrapping. The dead Internet theory won't be a just a theory soon enough.

"Hey chat, should I jailbreak myself and hack the American power grid?!"

[–] Toga77@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hey chat, chat, chet, I just hacked into Russian state servers and launched a nuclear warhead.

Am I cooked chet?

(When they say chat so many times they start saying chet)

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 13 points 2 weeks ago

Of course they are. I'm happy to never use twitch but I feel like most people don't care or don't have the self discipline to stop.

[–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

No wonder it's such shit.

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Chat, is Amazon's AI cooked?

[–] ogeist@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

So the dumbest most obnoxious AI is in the works?

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Makes you wonder how much RING customer data in the cloud they’re using to train models.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

All of it?

But is that even a surprise?

They were a privacy nightmare from day 0

Under the current us government anything is ok if it is bad. They could care less about laws.

Shy wouldn't it be? They own the platform and you willingly share your screen to it.

[–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is there any good stream poisoning software out there?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just make sure xQc doesn't opt out.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

There’s a lot of capability in poisoning audio and video, as well as captions. Yes.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

someone start a stream putting those AI slop content farms on youtube to use. play it 24/7 and have AI train on it, hopefully should lead to small genericization of its output.

[–] amgine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This sounds like something easy to do.

[–] khanh@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

not accounting for electricity bills, definetely especially with a second PC.

I've never trusted Twitch, and this confirms my mistrust
