Is it off, or is it an optional module that doesn’t have to be adding bloat to my system if I don’t want to use it?

LLMs can take up a pretty big storage footprint.

My biggest issue with that is the amount of bloat a full local LLM implementation would add.

But if it’s an optional module that you can choose to add (or choose not to add) after the fact, I have no complaint.

Who wants Florida? It’ll be under water in a few years, and until then it’s full of people who thought DeSantis was a good idea.

Instead the “community” can brigade the “verification” and create an even louder echo chamber.

Exactly. As the amount of renewable zero carbon electricity increases, it will become less expensive than fossil fuels, which will naturally drive energy usage away from the more polluting sources.

If selling false hope wasn’t profitable, there would be a lot of companies (and religions) go out of business.
