This thread is about a locally running LLM, with an air gap. How can a third party company harvest anything from that? Even if you didn't develop the LLM yourself, if you downloaded it and are running it locally with no internet acces

Yes, it's a subject without a predicate. So it's not a complete sentence. That doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Let's say there's an image with the caption "A man looking at a fish in a tank." That

I agree. My point is that this isn't an "obvious hole in the whole E2E encryption setup", because no network actor (e.g. Google, Apple, Signal servers) can read the data. This "hole" in E2E is the same as any malwar

While I don't disagree in general, there are a couple gaps in your reasoning that weaken the argument: Adoption doesn't necessarily correlate completely with price. Price can increase without much adoption, due to speculation. In

AIUI, Signal push notifications just saying a message was received. Signal then fetches the E2E encrypted message from the server and decrypts it locally. So Apple/Google cannot read the messages, nor can Signal servers.

Yes, we spend a lot on weddings, but not as much (adjusted for income) as they do on funerals. In Ghana they spend 2.3x-9x the yearly median income[1] on a funeral. The median income in the US is $45,140[2], so if we were to spend the same

The receiver will immediately move the bitcoin. So it has the same downside. If the receiver doesn't immediately move the bitcoin, the receiver is at risk of Satoshi stealing them by retaining the private key and moving them later. Eve
