 Wait until they start sneaking ads into LLM responses in ways you don't even know you're internalizing.  
 Personal ai bro. That's the new freedom tech. Run local. 
 Tell me about it. Except "local" need not (solely) mean "only on my local machine": https://vaporware.network  
 For me it does. I don't trust other ppls gear 
 That's cool. You can be as local or not as fits your preference. 
My point is that "logical machine" need not necessarily be 1:1 with "physical machine". Our goal is to make that distinction as fungible as the user wants (including not at all) 
 cool i guess. But local means on my machine. cloud is someone elses. just not a fit for this use case imho but hey itll be a popular transitional til abused by whoever sits at data choke point. til then. let le bon temps roule as the cajun say 
 To be clear, personally I would only use cloud services for encrypted-at-rest redundancy. In case my local machine explodes I could restore.
