Calculator?! Those thieving, energy-sucking piles of garbage! Abacus till I die!
But seriously, AI is insidious in how it data mines us to give us answers, and data mines our questions to build profiles of users. I distrust assurances of anonymity by big data corpos.
I am not sure what method DDG is using for their model updates, I think it’s only fair if journalists follow up with them for clarification. Local LLMs, ones you can download to your machine for use, would circumvent privacy concerns if you’re not updating the weights in some way
Edit to clarify I meant updating the weights using online learning, but it’s still possible to update weights using pre trained weights you can download
