Just a reminder that corporations aren’t your friends, and especially not Open AI. The data you give them can and will be used against you.
If you find confiding in an LLM helps, run one locally. Get LM Studio, and try various models from hugging face.
ICE hopes gay, trans, minorities, political opponents, etc. vent to ChatGPT.
Ollama was dirt easy to set up myself and it’s super free.
If you’re gonna talk to a bot, make sure it’s not telling tales.
Yep. I use mine exclusively for code I’m going to open-source anyway and work stuff. And never for anything critical. I treat it like an intern. You still have to review their work…
Can you run one locally on your phone?
The smallest Modells that I run on my PC take about 6-8 GB of VRAM and would be very slow if I ran them purely with my CPU. So it is unlikely that you Phone has enough RAM and enough Cores to run a decent LLM smootly.
If you still want to use selfhosted AI with you phone, selfhost the modell on your PC:
- Install Ollama and OpenWebUI in a docker container (guides can be found on the internet)
- Make sure they use your GPU (Some AMD Cards require an HSA override Flag to work
- Make sure the docker container is secure (Blocking the Port for comunication outside of your network should work fine as long as you only use the AI Modell at home)
- Get youself an openwight modell (I recomend llama 3.1 for 8 GB of VRAM and Phi4 if you got more or have enough RAM)
- Type the IP-Adress and Port into the browser on your phone.
You now can use selfhosted AI with your phone and an internet connection.
Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for babbling incoherent nonsense to ChatGPT?
No, it’s not a substitute for a real therapist. But therapy is goddamn expensive and sometimes you just need to vent about something and you don’t necessarily have someone to vent to. It doesn’t yield anything useful, but it can help a bit mentally do to do.
Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for sharing incoherent nonsense to Facebook?
You, 10-20 years ago. I heard these arguments from people in the early days, well before Facebook blew up or Cambridge Analytica was a name any normies knew.
This isn’t the early 00s anymore where we can pretend that every big corp isn’t vacuuming up every shred of data they can. Add on the fascistic government taking shape in the US and the general trend towards right leaning parties gaining power in governments across the world, and you’d have to be completely naive to not see the issues with using a ‘therapist’ that will save every datapoint to its training and could be mined to use against you or willingly handed over to an oppressive government to use however they so choose.
Im like 99% sure that’s a Russian bot
Lmao. I’m curious on what about my post history makes me sound like a Russian bot.
I don’t need to check your post history to make assumptions lmao
If it’s incoherent, you’re fine… Just don’t ever tell it anything you wouldn’t want a stalker to know, or your family, or your friends, or your neighbors, etc.
I’m not sure who out here is randomly posting that information to ChatGPT. But even if they were, your address and personal details are unfortunately readily publicly available on the web. It’s 2025.
Yes, this is a massive problem with them these days. They have some information if you’re willing to understand they WILL lie to you, but it’s often very frustrating to seek meaningful answers. Like, it’s not even an art form… It’s gambling.
If you use Ai for therapie atleast selfhost and keep in mind that its goal is not to help you but to have a conversation that statisvies you. You are basicly talking to a yes-man.
Ollama with OpenWebUi is relativly easy to install, you can even use something like edge-tts to give it a Voice.
Wait, why did my insurance premiums just go up?
This is a severely unhealthy thing to do. Stop doing it immediately…
ChatGPT is incredibly broken, and it’s getting worse by the day. Seriously.
Actually please don’t use chatgpt for tharapy, they record everything people put in there to use to further train their ai models. If you wanna use ai for that use one of those self-hosted models on ur computer or something, like those from ollama.com.
Eliza from 1960s was made for this.
I also facepalm often when that guy writes stuff.
