    It’s a worry certainly but most of what I put into ai is pretty intentional.

    Stuff like insta and TikTok algos that deduce things from you hovering over a pic a imperceptible fraction of a second longer scare me more

    Good reminder to people often treat AI like a personal notebook, but it acts more like a third-party service. So, it’s best not to include anything sensitive in your prompts to begin with.

    This gets me thinking!

    How would that apply to a local model? And I wonder if there's a theory that could be used for an ai designed to support lawyers specifically?

    Your modern digital technology options. Either be a regular, naive user who wants to use tech as a means to an end and get exploited at every turn. Or be a tech savant who has cultivated an interest in one or more of programming, tech DYI, copyleft, right to repair or something, etc. Or inconvenience yourself by abstaining from as much as possible and get nagged from parent groups and others (in the first category) who are only on BS platforms like Messenger by Meta.

    There is human-serving technology, there is somewhat neutral technology, and then there is this embarrasing lot.

        For me with Firefox/uBlock: none. With chrome without blocker I had one at the top, one in the middle blocking scrolling, one at the bottom in a kinda static bar that can't be removed and one subscribe popup. Pretty nasty but not 7. I guess it depends on your location. But blockers are very effective on it.

        Ps I mainly use local AI anyway especially when I put sensitive data in it. I use cloud AI mostly for deep research and there I'm just asking about things I don't know yet so it's not really privacy invasive.

    To date, I have seen it used entirely against the working class. It's purpose is to eliminate jobs, and mass surveilabce, its unintentional byproduct it higher utility rates and water scarcity. Making AI slop memes is cool but I'll make that sacrifice.
