He’s an idiot.

But if Signal wanted to, on the next Apple OSes and current Android version, you can invoke a small, local LLM without sending user data off-device.

Personally, not sure where the value is: composing messages? summarizing them? Both have been tried and they’re pretty useless.

Comes from Apple and Google? It will absolutely send data off device.

Google and co have been trying to extract information from my emails for years. It’s presented as a way to automatically make appointments etc but in reality is probably used to build a thorough profile for advertisement
