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.

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

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