I run my own LLM “AI” server at home because I want to try out various aspects and scenarios without having big tech snoop over my shoulder and be able to use any model I want.

I can perfectly well see people getting good, working therapy from an LLM. But I think it would depend on the user taking the LLM seriously, and anybody with sufficient experience with LLM’s simply don’t.

So the people this could help is the people that shouldn’t be allowed near an “AI” interface…

Hmm, I’m not sure I consider tech bros, vibe coders and GUI dependents as tech people. The type of tech people I’m thinking of don’t seek to ease friction, they want to create a frictionless system.

Because that’s what the average tech idiot need - To be able to show off to the average idiot.

If idiots want to follow idiots, that’s a different issue.

Tech people have zero idea what privacy is or should be, and desperately look for anything to make then feel elites.

What you’re describing are ‘idiots’ and they’re in the tech field as well as saturating every other aspect of life.

Those with privacy systems truly worth flexing, won’t. So that excludes me as I don’t have any darknet only, privacy focused, self-hosted, deep encrypted systems at all.
