“Yeah, no shit”
-anyone on the internet and paying even the slightest bit of attention for the past 5 years
More like past 20 or 30 years…
And when will those companies punished according to their crimes?
What crimes?
I really should take all of them to small claims for the time and energy needed to block them.
I have to wonder if there is a way to do that. Basically we all inconvenience them to death.
The way I see it they’re not gonna waste the time and money to fight a $1,000 claim and articles like this would convince a local judge that I can’t just opt out.
And since the other side didn’t bother to show up I’d win by default.
Any not-your-lawyer types out there wanna make some good trouble by confirming this?
I have a lawyer but I feel like me coming to her with this would be like those folks who said we’d both be billionaires if I built a Facebook app for free.
Then some judge would try to force a class action lawsuit.
so you’re telling me that all those times I said google was listening to me through my phone, and like a thousand people said I was full of shit, I was right?
I’m trying out Google’s Gemma4 LLM, which is run locally, and is touted as a 100% private model.
Asking it some questions about itself, at one point it acknowledged that chats were sent to “developers”.
You mean it hallucinated a positive response to your leading question as it is meant to? You are operating on a fundamental misunderstanding of what LLMs do. Even if what you said is true, an LLM would have no knowledge of that unless it was explicitly told as such as an input - and why would they be stupid enough to do that?
llama.cpp doesn’t have the ability to send telemetry because the next word predictor says so. you can confirm with wireshark.
“Tell me you are alive.”
“I’m alive”

I feel like that should be quite easy to verify with wireshark.
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust anything LLM says.
That’s not how any of that works.
Did the LLM tell you it’s 100% private?
What else did the LLM tell you?
“Shortly before I left my boss told me, direct quote, my job is to protect the company. There was another time I got into a very serious ontological discussion with a fairly senior engineer about what the difference was between taxes and fines and they didn’t understand there was a difference,” he said.”
😳
“Don’t worry about your taxes this year ;)”
In a lawless place there is no enforcement of one’s word, is blind trust or nothing…
Shocked pikachu face?
