So: everything you type in the box to a LLM is on their servers. You can hope they delete if you ask, but you certainly have no way of knowing.

Further: courts ordered OpenAI to keep all ChatGPT logs, even when the user requested they be deleted.

Then: surely users have learned by now to be careful with what they ask LLMs...

But:

(Whether trolling or genuine, this may be on my list of best internet writing of all time.)

Apparently:

some product manager at Meta decided their new AI app should post all conversations to a public feed by default. the app is full of boomers and young children talking about incredibly private or bizarre things, often with full audio recordings

This is your reminder that you can't control what happens to the records of your chats with LLMs.

This is your reminder that you can't control what happens to the records of your chats with LLMs.

Thus, consider this your reminder to run your own LLM. llama 3.2 can answer most of your questions, even about "big booty cougars" though results may vary, lol. Using ollama, it takes 1 to 5 seconds on an old Mac M1, under .5 seconds on an M4. You don't need to share your existential crises with sama, elmo or zuck.

Here's what my local llama3.2 says about the masturbation example:

>>> is it safe to masturbate while driving a vehicle?
No, it is not safe to masturbate while driving a vehicle. Engaging in 
sexual activity while operating a vehicle poses significant risks to both 
the driver and other road users.

Here are some reasons why masturbation while driving is considered unsafe:

1. **Distraction**: Masturbation can be distracting, taking your attention 
away from the road and increasing the risk of accidents.
2. **Loss of control**: Engaging in sexual activity while driving can lead 
to a loss of control over the vehicle, making it more difficult to respond 
to unexpected situations on the road.
3. **Risk of injury**: If you're not fully clothed or are wearing loose 
clothing that gets caught on the steering wheel or other parts of the 
vehicle, you risk getting injured during sexual activity.
4. **Accident risk**: The most significant risk is that your actions could 
lead to an accident, putting yourself and others on the road at risk of 
harm or even death.
5. **Legal consequences**: In many places, masturbating in a vehicle is 
considered a form of indecent exposure or public lewdness, which can 
result in legal consequences.

The risks associated with masturbation while driving far outweigh any 
temporary pleasure or satisfaction it may provide. It's essential to 
prioritize your safety and the safety of others on the road by avoiding 
such activities while driving.

If you're looking for ways to relieve stress or explore your sexuality, 
consider doing so in a safe and private setting, away from distractions 
like a vehicle.

Pretty solid advice. I've been reluctant to try llama on my creaky old thinkpad, but maybe this is a good reason to upgrade.

You need something with a great GPU and a ton of memory. 3 of my friends that are on a budget (like a proper stacker) run mac minis and just screenshare/ssh into it (easier if you also have a macbook, but doable on an intel/windows PC too) on their laptops and use it like a little server. Because of Unified Memory Architecture, as long as you don't run a million things on it concurrently, you get a ton of bang for your buck on these, even with the more expensive versions.

PS: I'm interested to learn what people on MS/Intel platforms use though - I only have some Xeon servers nowadays, all my hardware is ARM and I'm testing RISC-V: no more intel workstations for me, except old laptops for compatibility testing, which I only do once every 6 months at most.

Good reminder.

When the AI lies, it will say it deleted it by default. No surprise at all. And that’s not even considering how people have no idea how much they’re feeding these AIs with information.

One day a coworker called me over and said: “This AI is scary, how does it know I have a daughter and that I have an event on the same day as my daughter’s school event? Terrifying.” — In this case, it was ChatGPT, and I showed him the memory feature. There it was — everything the AI had memorized about him. Apparently, he had been using the AI for everything and had no idea how much he was giving away.

OMFG, I'm so happy I'm not using those platforms!

What's your thoughts about using something like ppq.ai? (Pay Per Query, pay with lighting).

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scoresby OP 14h

Couldn't they still build a profile for you based on your interactions (kinda like google search does with your searches or browser fingerprinting)?

In which case you still end up with a service that can do something with your data. Self hosted seems better (not that I currently do it...).

Yes, but it's possible to not provide any identifying data to ppq.ai, you just have a token, and pay with lightning.

You can give them an email, but it's not necessary.

This warning can be applied more broadly: you don’t control the data than you enter on any platform on the web.

excellent point. It just feels more dangerous with LLMs because chatting with them can seem so private.
