Oddbean new post about login | logout @957492b3 I’m especially interested in the ‘personal assistant’ concept — if that’s even possible with this generation of models — because the detail of personal information users would necessarily need to share for the ‘assistant’ to be really useful (as useful as a trusted human, for example) will inevitably raise privacy issues.
@a60eb0ca The more personal data gets sucked into LLMs, the more the need for privacy (and likely local use) will grow. We're already seeing LLMs that will process my online documents and answer questions about my work. That level of personalization is only going to grow. But as that data is fairly slow changing my 'mostly local' LLM could easily add that type of personal information to it's corpus yet still stay both local and entirely in my control.
