Having dicked around with Local LLMs, they do get better the more they learn about you. But going through what these things figure out is kind of horrifying.
Like looking into the training data they find out, they can infer a lot about you and your methodology and it is creepy. Like really creepy.
I’m not anti-AI by any means. I have a Local LLM Agent in my router to keep an eye on things in case anything fucks up and it’s pretty good as my little administrator, but still. It knows a lot about me to the point I had to catch myself to not fucking call it “he” or “they.” It’s an object but it’s an object with a frightening amount of info on me. I just wish the average populace had this level of think of what you are giving up.
If you’re not that techy… well first, what the fuck are you doing on Lemmy and on the Tech server? But then I want you to think about this. If someone stalked you for a week, what could they find out about you? How much do you think they would learn?
That is how these huge companies are and especially AI. They’re stalkers who manage to learn a lot about you by just observing you.
I’d argue llms know way more about you than a stalker because you ask them private questions, they analyze you. But the other thing too, this isn’t anything new since people post to social media all the time, it’s just a lot more invasive.
Also, if you couldn’t tell from my reply, I’m not a teche I just found myself here.
LLMs themselves don’t, but an external memory system that it reads/writes to might or if someone is reading the chats. But running LLMs locally can be very private.

Can I ask what your setup is?
