| Privacy is a big one, but avoiding censorship and reducing costs are the other ones I’ve seen. Not so sure about the reducing costs argument anymore though, you'd have to use LLMs a ton to make buying brand new GPUs worth it (models are pretty reasonably priced these days). |

| I never understand these guardrails. The whole point of llms (imo) is for quick access to knowledge. If I want to better understand reverse shell or kernel hooking, why not tell me? But instead, “sorry, I ain’t telling you because you will do harm” lol |
