Not a scandal ofc, but people use local models mostly for privacy

and using a closed-source, VC-backed app that might change anything in the next update might not be best for privacy

some people want to make money, others want to improve social progress.

Happy to clarify which is who and who is which.

No, but you are a lot more vulnerable to enshittification and you don’t have the advantages of open source applications.

It’s an important criteria to have in mind when you select an application.

I'm interested in your thought process. How did you get from his initial statement opening of "A friendly reminder ..." to thinking that this was a scandal?
