Your conversations with AI may not be as private as you think
Pretty sure they’re every bit as private as anybody who actually thinks thinks.
*LLM assistants
And no shit, Sherlock. If you thought otherwise, you are living proof why there should be laws protecting people from such predatory snake oil vendors.
No they’re not, because I don’t have conversations with AI.
I wonder how close we are to getting our details leaked to LLMs because rubes with our contact info are just dumping them on those servers. Kind of like how Facebook maintains a social graph of you even if you don’t use it.

9tr6gyp3Thats the risk of centralized services. If you are that worried about it, you would be installing a local model to run offline on your PC instead.
P03 LockeWhat’s this, you say? Does it involve running LM Studio with a GLM-4.7 Flash model? And it only costs the kilowatts for my video card? And it can only go out to the internet if I allow it to?
Your PC likely wont have a million context-size capability, but thats the price you pay for being in the peasant class instead of the billionaire class.

Did anyone really think they were actually private at any time ever ever?
People who refuse to exercise critical thinking skills, which is a terrifying percentage of the population.
I think this is what has always worried me most. I do what I can to avoid being tracked across the internet and tracked by search engines.
AI is like a wire tap lol.
Framework catching strays with that thumbnail
Unless they’re super aggressively pro-ai and I just haven’t heard that.
Nothing beyond shipping laptops with NPUs, which isn’t unusual since that’s what Intel’s and AMD’s laptop CPUs come with these days.
Yeah, and ngls are unrelated to that problem as they’re for local
Why tf did they use that thumbnail with the Framework laptop in the background 😭 also, who was stupid enough to think the conversations were private in the first place?
Isn’t leaking my conversations. Can’t leak what they don’t have
Not the one I’m running locally!
I use an APK called Off Grid and load ai onto that (right now I’m using genna 4). It’s all done on my phone. Nothing on the cloud. No data sent anywhere. Completely local. No entities get shit from it. The only way I’ll use ai.
I highly value privacy, but the gap between local LLMs vs top of the line cloud LLMs (e.g. Claude & DeepSeek) is still too great for me to switch completely to the former.
I’ll use PWAs to sandbox LLMs from everything else (and each other) and try to create semantic distance between the user and the queries.
How about that leaked Claude source code? Is there a reliably clean version of that available anywhere yet?
Gemma 4 seems pretty legit so far.
I have my local LLM currently setup and it runs just as well as Sonnet 4.6 from a quality standpoint, and for performance it is slightly slower but it’s still faster than I can respond.
This is with a Strix Halo APU with 128GB unified memory using the latest Qwen3.6 models with llama.cpp.
Can you please provide any feedback on this?
