Yes, "Like a car". LOL. You realise that many people in Europe and Asia do not own a car at all? Public transport, eBike / scooter, Tuk-Tuk, walk.

The local LLM "privacy" war had been already lost.

You realise how many people in Europe do own a car?

And how exactly has the privacy war been lost?

[pbgcp2026]

The privacy war has been lost in two ways (at least) 1) Running locally lobotomised models makes no sense; 2) as someone said here, the Gov will declare local AI a felony. And they will enforce it. So those "many people" will buy V8 cars limited to V4 and declared illegal to drive without registration and license, even locally in your own yard, and they may go to jail if they attempt to activate other 4 cylinders. Oh, wait ... isn't it how car laws work now? ;-)

Ludicrously paranoid take.

I'm glad that you saw my point and I apologise for stepping on your ego. :-)
