Does it link to the internet and do I have to let it access every part of my life?

Idk man in a surveillance state, AI seems like the most obvious way into everyone's lives that's ever been deployed by companies who are awful and shamelessly so.

  • For the case of local models, no not at all. Most local models are under a free license (or at least a non-commericial one) and it all runs locally on your hardware, however what you can run and how well depends on your hardware and some software fiddling. Non-local stuff if 100% a ploy to make everyone dependent on big tech even more than they already are, though

    I've no interest in trying to run an AI locally on my own equipment but I have set this up for work and it's internet access is monitored and heavily restricted. It has complete intranet access, so that's all the documentation it needs a d it can access read only versions of anything saved in one drive. It can visit websites but it doesn't have the ability to upload anything, it can't even send emails, it can write the email, but a human needs to press send. It seems to be working pretty well, I haven't heard a peep from management since, so I'm guessing they're happy with it.
