I run my own instance that has [a few] users

Same.

I subscribe to low drama instances like startrek.website

Maybe not the best example! There was a ton of beef following the Reddit APIcalypse. There was a mod schism. I’m pretty sure if you’re too critical of a certain series, you’ll get banned by a certain user with an extremely delicate ego.

If you want it done Fast and Good, it will not be done Cheap.

No, not at all.

They are a shorthand for “give me the index of this directory” rather than “give me the first file you find named this.” In some configurations, the presence of absence of a trailing slash dramatically reduces the amount of computation an HTTP server must execute before responding to the request.

This was my main thrust.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Let’s take a look at the Developer Agreement that you cited:

You must only retain chat logs as long as necessary for the operation of Your Services or to improve Your Services; do not do so for the purpose of creating public databases or websites, or, in general, to collect information about Twitch’s end users. You must enable, and process, all requests by end users to block, discontinue, delete, or otherwise opt-out of any retention of chat logs for Your Services.

This very clearly states that you are disallowed from retaining chat logs for the general purpose of collecting information about Twitch’s end users.

You said that you, “store ‘facts’ about specific users so that they can be referenced quickly,” but then later in a different thread state, “I’m not storing their data. I’m feeding it to an LLM which infers things and storing that data.” You’re retrieving information about specific users at a later time. You’ve built a database of structureless PII from chat logs. You’ve chosen to store the data as inferences, which makes it a bad database, but still a database.

I have questions:

When your streamer mentions something deeply personal, like, “how their mothers surgery went,” that your tool helped them remember, do they disclose that your tool was involved in that transaction? When the viewer gets weirded out and asks your streamer to not mention that again, or forget it entirely, do you have a way to remove that information from your database and a way to prove it’s been deleted? When other people in chat think it’s gross, and ask to opt-out, can you even do it?

Regarding FrostyTools: I don’t think it’s storing the chat logs for a later time. They don’t have a data retention section in their TOS or Privacy Policy that isn’t related to the streamer. (As in, they hold on to the streamer’s Twitch account and some other information for billing, authentication, etc.) I think it’s taking the chat logs only for as long as it needs to output a response and then deleting it. Also, this excerpt from the FrostyTools TOS made me chuckle:

This means that you, and not FrostyTools, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit, stream, or otherwise make available via the Service. FrostyTools does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will FrostyTools be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted, streamed, or otherwise made available via the Service.

You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by the Service or submitted to the Service.

This leads me to believe that you can violate the Twitch TOS quoted above using FrostyTools. It is apparent that FrostyTools has positioned itself as an application that creates User Generated Content (like Photoshop or Word).

Hey, you’re treating that data with the respect it demands, right? And you definitely collected consent from those chat participants before you Hoover’d up their [re-reads example] extremely Personal Identification Information AND Personal Health Information, right? Because if you didn’t, you’re in violation of a bunch of laws and the Twitch TOS.

Very many things!
- Matt Mullenweg is a petulant dipshit.
- The plugin ecosystem is possibly the largest vector of malware on the internet.
- Without setting up fail2ban and changing some default configuration values, it’s a botnet target.
- It was only ever good for blogging, and there are many better solutions out there now.
