    Wow, it’s a whole new level of f*cked up when Zuck collects more data than the Winnie the Pooh (DeepSeek). 😳

      The idea that US apps are somehow better than Chinese apps when it comes to collecting and selling user data is complete utter propaganda.

        Don’t use either. Until Trump, I still considered CCP spyware more dangerous because they would be collecting info that could be used to blackmail US politicians and businesses. Now, it’s a coin flip. In either case, use EU or FOSS apps whenever possible.

      Are there tutorials on how to do this? Should it be set up on a server on my local network??? How hard is it to set up? I have so many questions.

        I recommend GPT4all if you want run locally on your PC. It is super easy.

        If you want to run in a separate server. Ollama + some kind of web UI is the best.

        Ollama can also be run locally but IMO it take more learning than GUI app like GPT4all.

        https://ollama.ai/, this is what I’ve been using for over a year now, new models come out regularly and you just “ollama pull <model ID>” and then it’s available to run locally. Then you can use docker to run https://www.openwebui.com/ locally, giving it a ChatGPT-style interface (but even better and more configurable and you can run prompts against any number of models you select at once.)

        All free and available to everyone.
