    Very rarely I see the argument that apart from being harmful directly, it’s also a GIGANTIC surveilance tool, and the most vulnerable people trust it with their inner thougths, which is to me scarier that ‘just’ copyrights.

      Absolutely agree, the data collection feels like even a step beyond the already horrifying amount of people’s personal information we’ve normalized scraping directly into the pockets of corporations

        This is why FOSS is the safest way to go, with Ollama, Alpaca, etc. You’d need a beefy rig to run such models, though.

          Yeah I need to try those models at some point so I understand them a bit better. Not sure how my laptop will like them though, or if I’ll be functionality limited by compute to the point that they’re less than useful.

            To clarify: Jan, Ollama, Alpaca, etc. are frameworks, onto which you can download and chat with different LLMs. They themselves are not LLMs. But yeah, you should probably have, like, a 2080+ or something…
