alt Hacker NewsWith AI being more useful with access to more of your data, I can't see myself using cloud AI models for purposes such as personal assistants.
Perhaps with differential privacy or confidential compute...
But ideally these models run locally.

This is just lazy thinking.
E.g. having an agent that alerts you when subscriptions are close to renewal etc - yeah seems easy to understand / see happening on the surface.
Until you get into the implementation details and realise 'yeah errr. not gonna work'.
That openclaw nonsense is an example of this.

I'm not sure how useful a personal assistant would be if it doesn't have internet access, and at that point you're vulnerable to the lethal trifecta so I'm not sure local versus cloud model is the most important distinction to index on
