So yeah this is a thing

For the time being it is TOGGLEABLE and you can TURN IT OFF!

However, we do not know if Twitch will force this to be on at all times like some other platforms, like X/Twitter, have previously done.

Regardless of IF YOU STREAM OR NOT you should TURN THIS "TRAINING FOR GENERATIVE AI" SETTING OFF IMMEDIATELY!

To do so you must go to: https://www.twitch.tv/settings/security

And then scroll all the way down near the bottom.

There you'll find the "Training for Generative Ai" setting, toggle it to OFF!

Be sure to keep sending messages to Twitch that you do NOT want this to exist.

yeah that's a valid point

that said, I'd put solid money that the fixation on the importance of Dust for most of these people has little to do with that, and more to do with hbomb claiming in his review of the Beacon arc that the "Dust heist plotline" goes nowhere, completely ignoring that Cinder says early on in the 2nd volume that they're done stealing Dust, and then on the train Roman and the White Fang are working on, the crates of Dust they stole are clearly visible, on a train that also has giant mechs and the armed White Fang, as well as bombs, and it's very easy to put two and two together on that with it being clear that the aim was to amp up tensions with all the robberies (and strain the Dust supply), then attack the city with an army of Grimm and White Fang, causing a mass panic in all the chaos in the days leading up the tournament, so that citizens will be even more on edge (but Oz and company will be lulled into a false sense of security that they've contained the primary threat)

And of course, the idea that Dust overall gets relegated to the background of the story ignores how the Atlesian Dust Embargo both left the world weakened and less defensible AND caused the world to resent Atlas (which will surely be an issue in Volume 10). It also ignores the importance of the SDC, and how Jacques behavior surrounding it informs both Weiss’ character and the themes of Trust, Pragmatism, and Selfishness that run throughout Volume 7 and 8.

@delphi-star You do recall correctly!! She does not give a shit about that man! She's happily married! She tipped him for being a witness at her wedding!
