I don't see how we can prove this. Paying them to also spy on us is bad but allowing them replace our software c/localllama with their service is even worse. My funds are better spent on local AI development or device upgrade.

Honest question. How does their service "replace" an open source LLM? If I've got locallama on my machine, how does using their service replace my local install?

Yes, it does the same with less control, privacy.

So it isnt replacing it's offering an alternative tradeoff with more convenience/less control. I dont see how thats a bad thing?
