I was once a privacy nut. But it's getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems -- global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order... how does privacy improve the world? Please help remind me.

I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can't remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

Yeah my phone autocorrected mixtral. I use it daily. I'm not sure which of these are the safest really. But the two non open source ones are off putting and the meta llama seems well Meta. So I use mixtral.

So far I was using Claude. It has a level of quality, and the company was known as using ethical ways to source the training material. Note the past tense.

I hate the was part. It seems everyone is squeezing out ethics and just doing whatever it takes to make money. Its sickening.
