When I was a kid, I had a 'pen pal'. Turned out to actually be my parent. This is why I have trust issues and prefer local LLMs

Sounds very similar to my childhood. My parents told me I couldn't eat sand because worms would grow inside of me. Now I have trust issues and prefer local LLMs.

The funny thing is the CDC says the same thing as your parents did

Whipworm, hookworm, and Ascaris are the three types of soil-transmitted helminths (parasitic worms)... Soil-transmitted helminths are among the most common human parasites globally.

How was the sand, though?

What about local friends?

The voices are friendly, so far

How do you trust what the LLM was trained on?

bravetraveler a day ago | parent [-]

Do I? Well, verification helps. I said 'prefer', nothing more/less.

If you must know, I don't trust this stuff. Not even on my main system/network; it's isolated in every way I can manage because trust is low. Not even for malice, necessarily. Just another manifestation of moving fast/breaking things.

To your point, I expect a certain amount of bias and XY problems from these things. Either from my input, the model provider, or the material they're ultimately regurgitating. Trust? Hah!

Well, as long as the left half of your brain trusts the right half :)

Ah, but what about right for left?! :)

I wrote to a French pen pal and they didn't reply. Now I have issues with French people and prefer local LLM's.

I wrote a confession to a pen pal once but the letter got lost in the mail. Now I refuse to use the postal service, have issues with French people and prefer local LLMs.

I pitched AGI to VC but the bills will be delivered. Now I need to find a new bagholder, squeeze, or angle because I'm having issues with delivery... something, something, prefer hype

I mean, even if they did reply... (I kid, I kid)
