Time for a little QA on the AI clause that everyone needs to know when it comes to this AI situation. I hate to break this to all of you, but if you're concerned about the change to the ToS that added the AI clause, then you fell for rage bait. It's been there for a long time. Explanation: Q: "Before you start, can you prove your claim?" A: The AI clause has been in Twitter's Privacy Policy (not the ToS, the Privacy Policy. They aren't the same thing, but are both binding documents!) since at least September 2023 - because Twitter was on the verge of launching Grok, a generative AI, in November of that year. The previous Privacy Policy is still on the Privacy Policy page, so you can just check it yourself - however, I know some of you will stubbornly refuse to do that, so I have included a screenshot for reference. Q: "Okay, so then what did the recent change actually do, and why were people angry about it?" A: The upcoming changes to the ToS moved the AI language out of the Privacy Policy and into the ToS. This was likely done in an effort to consolidate redundant verbiage regarding AI. A handful of people went and looked at this change after it was announced, saw the new wording, and either failed to do their research or knowingly didn't tell you it was in the Privacy Policy for engagement bait. There's no way to tell which one happened but both are bad. Q: "Fine, but we still can't opt out starting with the new policy!" A: If you notice, in the screenshot, the policy that has been in place since Grok launched also lacks an opt-out clause despite the fact that an opt-out is offered on the site. This is because you don't need to include a clause to offer an opt-out. This concern came about because a prior draft of the new ToS included a line about private communities, which was removed. What's important to note is that this line was not an opt-out either, but people were already up in arms and emotionally worked up, and were looking for more reasons to be upset. There is no evidence that the opt-out will be removed, but I think we can all agree that Twitter staff should confirm that to their user base anyway. It would help relieve some concerns. Q: "Okay, but Pirate Software said..." A: With the verbiage being moved into the ToS, the wording was changed slightly to include the word "generative". Pirate Software seems to think the addition of this term is meaningful, but as the original phrase was launched with Grok (which has always been generative) the change is likely being added simply to ensure compliance with government laws to better define what they have already been doing. There has never been a period where the AI being trained on Twitter has -not- been generative. I personally believe that this is because Pirate Software (like most people) failed to realize that wording was in the privacy policy when he initially discussed it, and spoke on the matter a bit prematurely - then needed a reason to not have to walk his statement back, so he zeroed-in on the "generative" phrasing. Thor is usually extremely thorough, but everyone makes mistakes. That covers most of the common things I've heard so far. If I get any more information I'll amend it here with a comment. But instead of having hundreds of separate discussions on the topic, I figured it made more sense to just post it once and link to this whenever I see the common misinformation occurring.

Since the OP had to lock her post, I wanted to make a point of this. If you read her other follow up posts you'll find references to men being the issue as well. Please read more in the futur before replying to avoid looking bad. With respect to the platforms, people tend to associate a specific individual with a specific type of content and not base it on the platform. The example you provided is asking for a different delivery method of that content, not content itself, and so naturally it sounds nonsensical - but it only sounds that way because you failed to make the correct comparison. A better example would be this: would you ask someone in the adult film industry to make YouTube videos about welding? No. The content delivery is the same (long format video), but the content is not. This is the correct comparison to make. Again, please try to have some common sense. Lastly, based on the above, it's also fair to say that she should, in fact, be stating that different platforms contain different content - but that should be done ON the platform in question, not on a third unrelated platform. This is just common sense. Please, try to stop and think before typing next time. x.com/PVNKSTER/statu…

1.) You made a mistake by making this a broader issue with men instead of the specific people who were a problem. The 1% of problematic men do not speak for the 99% of them that are just fine. If you villify an entire group when you get angry, then you make your point weaker by showing you can't appropriately evaluate the situation and step outside of your emotions. 2.) You have absolutely 0 rules against this on your twitch page - and considering you also have OF, then you should be stating they are separate platforms and that you expect to be treated separately somewhere in your about section. If you don't do that then it's completely unreasonable to expect people to "just know" that you don't intend for your content to overlap. Tl;Dr you had an unreasonable expectation and then vilified an entire gender because of it. That's not a good look. Be better.

Hi, please don’t sexualize me while I’m streaming 🫂 even more so when I’m sitting talking about my experience as an invisibly ill/disabled individual. Just bc I have an OF doesn’t give you the right to sexualize me during my streams. They are separate platforms. THANKS.

@DarkSalxm All that matters is that youre not going out of your way to hurt someone.

🖤 genuine question. 🖤 So, I use the word "dude" or “bro” with everyone, regardless of gender. Is it harmful to use it in that way, given it was originally used for those who are male presenting? I want to make sure I'm not going to upset someone.

@Sylem_Stickman When Im in a beating out of the shit my wife competition

This account will post the most supportive meme ever and then next day will post shit like this.

If it bothered the artist, fine, but neither of you had that context. The artist may have preferred the approach this person took. Context matters. If you don't have all the facts, then you aren't qualified to speak on the matter in the first place, so don't. Enquire, sure, but don't assert.

GIRL ALL I SAID WAS TO CREDIT YOUR ARTISTS CORRECTLY And when someone backs me up on it you throw a hissy fit?🧍‍♂️ Jeez

I said nothing about the existence of racism. Racism exists. What I said is that in the vast majority of situations and for the vast majority of people, race is not a factor in decision making, because the tone of your skin does not affect your personality, or how good or bad of a person you are. Both of these statements can be true at the same time.

@DemonizedSonic @HarutoKenzo @Thats_Tobias @NightFawnArt That's actually not what was said, what was actually said, essentially, was "racism doesn't exist because I don't see it". That's the issue at hand, not white men being judged for their ancestors being responsible for generations of racism and slave trade.

posting for relevance AGAIN

@celestiumart Nobody is deporting anyone that lives in the US legally lmao

I was born in America… I’m not getting deported just because I don’t agree with YOUR agenda or how YOU want me to vote. Thank you

@DroolingDilo @unfunnyhow @yaydenpa_san @RobcoreNation @wiiudisks The only person who will suffer from your behavior is you. Your words will change nobody, and all that will happen is that you will isolate yourself from relationships in the future. This is the internet. Opinions are not remembered, nobody's mind changes based on one person.

@DroolingDilo @unfunnyhow @yaydenpa_san @RobcoreNation @wiiudisks Your behavior is not the fault of anyone but you. Nobody is controlling you or your biases. Being understanding is the key to finding ways to make the world a better place.

@KitsuraNines They're public posts. They have every right to copy your posts. Is it annoying? Yep. Can you do anything about it? Nope. All you're doing now is giving them even more exposure.

@madrarua_vt @Milkythecowubus I don't like Trump, but you should be aware that the president doesn't actually any authority on this front. Legislation is handled by Congress, and interpreted by the Judicial System.

@pupsterVT @Milkythecowubus Twitter does not follow people for you on your behalf.

@FruityKoiBoi @Milkythecowubus The president has very little to do with any of this. Legislation is handled by Congress and the judicial system interprets it. If you are concerned, make sure to vote for CONGRESS people who support you.

@Milkythecowubus I've been really scared of trump being elected due to me being lgbtq+ and disabled. I can't imagine how other minorities or just people in general are feeling. If he's elected, I'm being so fr, we are fucked, we are all screwed.

All politics are extremely exaggerated. Media outlets frequently bait people into rage because rage creates more interaction. Very few people are evil, or nazis, or "letting people ruin the country", or whatever political extremism is being pedaled on both sides of the aisle, and it happens equally on both sides - Most people will go "NUH UH!" but that's just because you find one crazy spin to be more believable than the other crazy take. Politics are not sports teams. It is not us vs. Them. If you are not talking to someone about politics to listen and find answers, then don't talk about it. Either you're listening and finding answers, or you just want to be right. If you know someone who just wants to be right, teach them better social skills by showing them this doesn't get attention. And teach the media that rage doesn't work by ignoring it. Ignore the rage.

@DroolingDilo @unfunnyhow @yaydenpa_san @RobcoreNation @wiiudisks Your bias is obvious. Please learn to be kinder and more understanding to others in the future. Male suicide rate is six times higher than women. Don't contribute to that with your rude generalizations.

@DroolingDilo @unfunnyhow @yaydenpa_san @RobcoreNation @wiiudisks Don't body shame average men. That only makes you look bad, not them.

Quick, everyone cancel all the people trying to fornicate with the lolis in this thread

@ChikiVT *clicks fearfully*

you all need to follow me, or i'll bite you! >:3c

@BeUngovernab1e @seb_sketches I don't engage in politics, the only reason people bring it up is to fight. I hope you find a way to have more positive interactions in the future.

@AzuraelVT We'll tell you what an erb is if you tell us an 'orse is

Americans pronounce "herb" without the H !!!??? Ima fight yall... tf is an erb 😭
