A Million = Two

unrequited love for siblings is the saddest thing you could ever portray on its own but over the garden wall said what if the kid is like the sweetest most kindhearted five year old you could imagine and he loves his brooding wistful bitch of an older brother sooo so much and enough to offer up his life in exchange for his brothers when his older brother saw him this whole time as just an annoying step sibling at best and a nuisance at worst and you cant be too mad cause hes also a kid and then when he finally figures it all out it saves them both, the decision to leave lethargy and the rot of melancholy behind and take the love he already has as proof the world is worth it after all and aaa a a. aaaaaa. aaaaaaa. aaa. what a sweet story. what a lovely thing.

Twitch is Mining Peoples' Streams to Train Amazon's AI

Here's how to opt out of Twitch's new generative AI training setting.

What I think is the funniest about this is that iirc it's mad illegal for a company to add something like this in without giving your users a notice of change and also a new T&C for them to sign, and well. I checked everywhere and I never got a single email about a new T&C or even an email from Twitch AT ALL and when I logged in after this feature got added I was not given any popup notification about it. They were really banking on making it impossible for anyone to say no until it was likely too late and then just throw an opt-out button at us after the fact.

Also while Twitch does get some rights to your content it's in service of them being able to host your stream and show it to other users, that does not give them the complete rights to your art, stream, or face. Like AMC doesn't own both Iron Man the character and RDJ's face alongside it just because they got to show it in their theater, Disney and Marvel still own them and RDJ owns his face. This is the same thing. You can show my face and art to other users and host it on your site, but you can't then do whatever else you want with it without my permission. And while the average Twitch streamer does not have the resources to fight on that front, companies like Sony and Nintendo might, and most big name streamers are straight up millionaires so? Idk I wouldn't love those odds if I were them. I am a copyright abolitionist now tho, so I think the best option to go after them for is the whole "never letting us opt out ahead of time and where's my terms and conditions, you can't treat my agreement to the last one as an agreement to this new one" thing. Also probably one far easier to win.

But yeah, would not be even a little surprised if this turns into a lawsuit if only for the creators who were fucked over and denied a chance to say no.

[what-even-is-thiss]

A lot of my vegetarian friends don’t get why I still eat meat even though I mostly eat vegetarian with just occasional meat when left to my own devices and at the end of the day it’s because I just don’t have the same moral issues involved with killing animals that they do.

Yes I love animals. I don’t love them because they’re cute and I feel bad for killing them though. I love them as part of the broader ecosystem. I respect them. Probably more than they respect me, because at the end of the day I know that a chicken wouldn’t hesitate to eat me if it had the means and I don’t see why I shouldn’t strike first.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m just not ashamed of being an omnivore. Yes this chicken was once an individual. Thank you chicken for your sacrifice. You were delicious and gave me some very necessary B vitamins.

Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.

[minty-mayhem]

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

[prescribedburning-deactivated20]

im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂

[elsegame]

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

[youngdiasporan]

I think y’all are missing the point here.

[forlovefromfear]

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

[jhenne-bean]

I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”

like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.

“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”
