Yes you are right, and no you are not. It is concerning and something to stay vigilent about in the upcoming times.

Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Thank you. As far as I can see these models are for free. Doing data mining on users would be a tempting thing, right? Ollama does not specify this on their homepage, no payed plans, no 'free for private use' etc. How do they pay their staff and electricity and harware bills for model training? Do you know anything on the underlying business models?

What are your thoughts on #privacy and #itsecurity regarding the #LocalLLMs you use? They seem to be an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc. which basically are creepy privacy black boxes. How can you be sure that local LLMs do not A) "phone home" or B) create a profile on you, C) that their analysis is restricted to the scope of your terminal? As far as I can see #ollama and #lmstudio do not provide privacy statements.
