The TLDR is "local models are great to have but hopefully we don't lose out on large hosted models due to distrust about data going straight to OA or some other big companies." The arguments made in favour of bigco trustability are not great though, esp the parallel between AI data ingestion and Instagram's rumored use of mics to capture voice data for ad targeting: > Facebook say they aren’t doing this. The risk to their reputation if they are caught in a lie is astronomical. FB has already paid the biggest fine in FTC history for privacy breaches. It has no goodwill, it's running on user inertia and indifference.
