I generally need a visual guide (esp with there being soo many setting pages on this stupid site) so just incase others do ...
Here's how to opt out of Twitch's Generative AI update.

I am a life long customer of @Sephora and I will never shop there again in my entire life. I will urge my friends and family to not shop there as well, due to their soul damning participation in the unspeakably horrifying genocide of children in Gaza. I cures you Sephora!

This is genuinely, incredibly sad.

Michael Donovan will be missed. He was a voice director and actor for AcceleRacers. Prays for his family. This was all the way back in March, so it really hurts that we didn’t celebrate his life sooner.

🙏🏻

This is the craziest shit I have ever heard in my life and that is not an exaggeration. You are not prepared for what you will hear when you click “play” on this.

A not so little project I started working on:

Porting/adapting the 2009 iPhone game DOOM Resurrection to PC Doom 3. #doom #doom3 #idsoftware

Not to be dramatic but I don’t think people quite understand how much of a disaster eliminating USPS would be. Like it would be end-of-this-country level of a disaster

It took them 3yrs. 3 YEARS TO FINALLY REACH THIS POINT. And watch as nothing will continue to be done until Palestine and its people are no more.

@SpicyCandyArt Can we switch bodies, mommy? Pretty please?

End of an era… 💔 After 14 years and 1.7 billion views, YouTube removed the original Rick Roll. 😢

Let your friends know.

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

WTF

AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp.

The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded.

Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently. The knowledge survives only as training data inside a system no one can hold, browse, or resell.

What used to sit on a shelf for centuries now exists as weights in a model that might get deprecated next quarter.

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”

it was called project panama.

here's exactly what happened:

1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”

2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.

it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”

3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.

so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”

4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.

those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.

5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.

6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.

a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.

7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.

the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

Some folks don’t believe that a “principled AI company” would destroy books after they suck out all the information for their models, even one-of-a-kind books and manuscripts.

Here it is admitted in open court.

[NoodleDood @NoodleDood12]

They're just blatantly using it now

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Terrifying thread.

Due to a legal ruling which lets AI companies off the hook for copyright infringement as long as they destroy the original book, they're buying up millions of rare books, scanning them as AI training data, and then destroying them.

Seriously useful as well as fascinating website. Confirms everything you’ve been experiencing.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
