What are your thoughts on #privacy and #itsecurity regarding the #LocalLLMs you use? They seem to be an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc. which basically are creepy privacy black boxes. How can you be sure that local LLMs do not A) “phone home” or B) create a profile on you, C) that their analysis is restricted to the scope of your terminal? As far as I can see #ollama and #lmstudio do not provide privacy statements.
“They just spit out human looking text” is so incredibly regressive and asinine.
But it’s accurate? Doesn’t mean that human looking text can’t be helpful to some, but it’ll also help keep us grounded to the reality of the tech.
