Hey all, until now I'm being super reluctant about using any AI tool. On top of all the privacy issues it obviously comes with it (I can't believe there are people talking to ChatGpt and literally teaching them how to impersonated!), I have a feeling that it only does jobs that you are capable of doing with other tools, but since it looks like a person and not a computer, people start to fantasize that it will do everything they don't know or don't want to do it and become numb and stupid. But, maybe there are some uses for it and at my office we will soon have access to Claude, so I want to explore it and check for myself. My question is what precautions should I take and what limits should I put on my usage? I thought about creating a new email account just for signing up, but obviously that's nothing nowadays.

This, but llama.cpp.

ollama is built on and uses llama.cpp as a backend, but for a long time it didn't even acknoledge that, which was sleazy. It does now, so... ok.

But even now, it has layers that add obscuration. llama.cpp is the core tech, without the bloat and obscuration.
