  This was my main thrust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Irrigation thingie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (I assume this thing is opposite the hole water comes out of. Sometimes emitters look like rigatoni pasta inside a hose, sometimes they look like stapled-on Band-Aids, but they always cover the hole from the inside. I’m assuming yours is the latter. If there’s no hole on the other side of that, then I don’t know what that is.)

  ---

  Basically, if a clump of not-water enters the hose from the source, this thing will stop it from trying to squeeze through the hole and instead loop back around to the source or kinda spread out along the entire run.

  From the other direction, if a plant sticks its roots in the hole, it’ll feel the plastic and try to take root somewhere else. Most plants don’t like to work that hard to root into stuff, so basically anything will dissuade them from entering the hole. (There are some exceptions, and those exceptions are total asshole plants who will root through anything anyway, like bricks and shit. You have to nuke those plants back to the source before you even start laying tube.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Irrigation thingie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the emitter. It’s a piece of plastic designed to prevent clogs and to impede roots growing into the tube. Drip tubes are more than just hoses with holes punched in them. (Hoses with holes punched in them are called soaker tubes.)

  I think people would react poorly if server donations went to personal expenses before server expenses.

  The distinction is an illusion. If a person can’t afford to live, and a part of their life is running a server, who gives a fuck which dollar goes where?
