Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, aka Orange Shirt Day
I thought I’d explain it: a 🧵

I’ll try to keep this as condensed as possible without leaving stuff out because there’s a lot of info:

Ai generated images just need to be all out banned on search engines. They bring nothing of substance and just spread false information

[Ashni @ashnichrist]

Twitch will use your streams to train AI.

@zachbussey leaked this info. He's a great resource for streaming news.

My role is to help you understand what news actually matters, and what it means for you / the industry.

So here's what you need to know:

Your stream data is incredibly valuable.

Livestream data is some of the most valuable for training AI.

- It's multimodal (video, audio, text chat) which is very in-demand in the data market
- It's social data. Real people interacting with each other teaches models to engage socially and have personalities (ai is very bad at this rn)
- It's unscripted. The same reason Reddit data is so valuable: it's real
- There is a lot of it. Millions of streamers, billions of hours of data

Here's what Twitch will (probably) use this data for.

None of this is confirmed, but we can make assumptions.

1. Generic foundation model training. This is boring & low stakes, these already exist and don't really hurt you

2. Livestream-specific products like auto-highlights / clips, moderation, streamer co-pilot tools, etc. They want to keep streamers & not make y'all use other tools in this category

3. But the worst one... they could use this to create AI streamers.

You're probably thinking "they can't do this! I own my content."

The unfortunate reality is....

Twitch vs. Kick vs. YouTube ToS & Your Rights

You do not own the rights to your content on Twitch. They can sell your data to whoever they want and you agree to this by using the platform.

But there is a silver lining: their rights are non-exclusive and you keep copyright.

YouTube has the best platform rights for creators. You retain all ownership, their license is limited to just running their platform, AND they already have AI as *opt-in*.

Kick is the worst... specifically the Kick Partner Program. Kick has a permanent, exclusive, sub-licensable buyout. You lose the right to license elsewhere the moment you monetize.

So what's the actual problem for streamers?

When platforms own the ability to sub-license your data, they can sell it to other companies and use it however they want.

Twitch and Kick both have this ability. YouTube does not.

If you stream on Kick or YouTube, you could end up as unpaid Research & Development for an AI that replaces you.

There is precedent...

The content rights argument is playing out across many industries.

- SAG-AFTRA went on strike in 2023 and won
- Reddit makes ~$130M /yr from Google & OpenAI. Redditors receive none of it
- Federal legistlation battles are happening, like the No Fakes Act

And many more.

Why Twitch Might Grant Opt-In

If you don't like AI, you probably would love to know that Twitch has potential to grant an opt-in feature similar to YouTube's

Amazon has a large team of very talented lawyers. Litigation is very expensive, especially in a completely new category. Having opt-in consent could prevent a lot of headaches for their (expensive af) legal team.

Also, YouTube already has this feature. If Twitch rolls out a forced default while its biggest competitor lets creators choose, Twitch looks anti-creator by direct comparison & loses users

How to Make Money From Your Own Data

You want to be paid for your data, not these big companies.

That's why it's crucial to maintain the ability to sub-license your content (which KPP does NOT allow, Twitch & YouTube are safe)

In order to make money from your data, you need to join an aggregator platform. These platforms pool users together to sell and monetize their data.

It's going to happen anyway. You might as well be the beneficiary of it.

Lmk if you want platform recommendations.

What You Should Do Now

1. Demand an opt-in toggle like YouTube. Twitch has caved to pressure before

2. Keep copies of all your VODS in case you want to license them someday. This will be a new revenue line for streamers over the next few yrs

3. If you really hate this, stream on YouTube

4. If you are a Kick Partner, consider leaving the platform or renegotiating your contract

The simple conclusion is...

The move isn't to rage against AI or roll over for platforms

Your move should be to force Twitch to say what they're building and demand the right to choose

Protect your rights and force consent, then you decide whether to license your data for money or withhold it entirely

Good luck everyone.

[ley @onehundred43]

It is beyond me how people act like giving up mediocre chicken nuggets and overpriced frappes for the sake of children being slaughtered is a difficult thing to do

[annie @sweetndpolite]

very telling that when california was on fire canadian firefighters mobilized to provide wildfire relief, whereas when canada has 800 active wildfires americans are just moaning about the air quality lol

[Sitareh | ستاره 🇮🇷🇨🇦 @feeniesworth]

Hey guys

My province, Ontario, is currently on fire. The wildfires are mostly around the Northwestern areas, where many indigenous communities, such as the Namaygoosisagagun First Nations, having their homes burnt to a crisp. The entire province is covered in smoke -

What is it with AI in games? Why are we continuing to be okay with actual slop being pushed into our faces? I am so tired of getting a little excited about something only to later learn that genAI was used in the creative process. I just want to play silly games with friends.

[Charlotte Patterson @kirbyhazard]

Why? It’s the final and the US aren’t at the final. The only anthems that should be sung are of those playing who reached the final.

“bUt tHeY’rE tHe HoSt nATiOn!”

Yeah, but so are Canada and Mexico.

[Strawberry📌 @strbrydoozer]

@BekVibes If it’s using gen ai? zero. If not then very likely🙂‍↕️

[Karianne 🌈☀️ @karianneee_]

Not only did we get kidnapped and taken to the #VGala backrooms last night in lore, but it appears my monitor also just decided it couldn’t handle the warden filled streets :(

I put my new one on throne if anyone’s wanting to help a girl out </3

TTS can trigger clips!!! This is VERY bad if someone has clips disabled, doxxes themselves, and the clip still goes through.
