Comment on Google will now verify if you're a human by turning on your webcam and asking you to wave your hand

  I think such an all-or-nothing mindset is exactly why people are staying on megacorp services. Besides, Mistral is much more transparent about its data collection, unlike Google, which makes you disable all chat history if you want to prevent training on your inputs.

    All-or-nothing mindset people usually do not comment because they want to be helpful. They are a nuisance.

    What is your use case for AI?

      Reducing the user’s cognitive abilities seems to be the main use of LLMs so far.

  I generally favor local LLM usage, but I will sometimes use Kagi’s assistant tools. I trust them to throw out my data a fuckton more than I do Google.

    A locally run LLM is a different story, one that I’m slightly note open to, but “trusting” any corp is how we got here. To me degoogling isn’t just about moving away from Google but about removing myself from any nonessential service and limiting the data I share with essential services.

    I also just plain don’t know what I’d use any LLM for.

      PewDiePie has been on a tear lately with recommending everybody switch to Linux and recently experimenting with LLMs. He put out a legit good local LLM project that showcases the different kinds of things you can do with a model.

      My biggest LLM use cases have been:

      • A replacement for search, since you typically need multiple searches and multiple sources to get the information you need
      • Code generation, because it’s so good at producing entire fully-featured utilities or just let it spin away at implementing some new functionality
      • Helping me out with some random Linux error or difficulty, because support forums are fucking garbage

        I think needing multiple searches and sources is a good thing, personally. Yes it takes more time and effort but it reinforces research skills. Performing the search yourself provides an opportunity to critically evaluate the information you’re finding and, if applicable, take into account any bias a source may have.

        Can’t comment on code generation.

        I suppose it depends on the Linux difficulty but reading through documentation and ArchWiki typically gets me enough info to make a more informed/refined search. You’re also likely to stumble across information you’ll want to know rather than just find an answer to the question you’re asking.
