Just a few years ago, people would lose their marbles if some software installed a background agent to send you notifications or something. Now we agreed that it's totally normal to have software that does remote code execution on our machines, for which it first has to transfer all data to a remote server. We've already normalized this. It doesn't really matter who gets access to said machine/data - they will all retain information, and they will all train on it, regardless of what user agreement sais. It's not like OpenAI and Anthropic didn't train on things they didn't have permission to train on.

  > loser mindset. You can disagree without that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html At the same time, I will also be the first one to admit that I don't have like 20-50k EUR laying around for the hardware to run inference fast enough on good models. Hell, even an RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is at least 700 EUR (820 USD) right now over here, so regular consumers are also screwed, same with RAM prices and storage prices. Absolutely insane time to buy hardware.

  You're making a lot of assumptions, projecting, maybe? I do have dedicated machines and dedicated VMs for agents. RCE on a VM is still a RCE.

    as already suggested, buy and host your own inference system. just own both side of such "RCE". make sure you audit and use open source software for the entire stack. you are just complaining on something that can be totally safeguarded. yes, it won't be cheap, it require a lot of work, welcome to the capitalist world. loser mindset.
