          Thank you very much. I did ask chatGPT was technical questions about some… subjects… but having something that is private AND can give me all the information I want/need is a godsend.

          Goodbye, chatGPT! I barely used you, but that is a good thing.

        Yeah, but you have to run a different model if you want accurate info about China.

          Unfortunately it’s trained on the same US propaganda filled english data as any other LLM and spits those same talking points. The censors are easy to bypass too.

          Yeah but China isn’t my main concern right now. I got plenty of questions to ask and knowledge to seek and I would rather not be broadcasting that stuff to a bunch of busybody jackasses.

            I agree. I don’t know enough about all the different models, but surely there’s a model that’s not going to tell you “<whoever’s> government is so awesome” when asking about rainfall or some shit.

            Apparently phone too! Like 3 cards down was another post linking to instructions on how to run it locally on a phone in a container app or termux. Really interesting. I may try it out in a vm on my server.

      I asked it about Tiananmen Square, it told me it can’t answer that because it can only respond with “harmless” responses.

        They’d need to do some pretty fucking advanced hackery to be able to do surveillance on you just via the model. Everything’s possible I guess, but … yeah perhaps not.

        If they could do that, essentially nothing you do on your computer would be safe.
