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

- rollcat 11mo agoWhat about local friends?
- bravetraveler 11mo agoThe voices are friendly, so far
- mieses 11mo agoI wrote to a French pen pal and they didn't reply. Now I have issues with French people and prefer local LLM's.
- bravetraveler 11mo agoI mean, even if they did reply... (I kid, I kid)
- Dilettante_ 11mo agoI 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.
- bravetraveler 11mo agoI 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
- amelius 11mo agoHow do you trust what the LLM was trained on?
- bravetraveler 11mo agoDo 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!
- amelius 11mo agoWell, as long as the left half of your brain trusts the right half :)
- bravetraveler 11mo agoAh, but what about right for left?! :)
- lingrush4 11mo agoSounds 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.
- bravetraveler 11mo agoHow was the sand, though?
- paddleon 11mo agoThe 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. https://www.cdc.gov/sth/about/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/sth/about/index.html
