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.

Before doing that, I would very carefully describe the problem I want to solve and other possible solutions. There are (relatively uncommon) situations where LLMs make sense, but many people are buying the snake oil when they don’t need it. Wouldn’t want to be played a fool.
