Basically anything else you use here in the west sends all data to Amazon-controlled servers. But they make sure its encrypted so only them can see it. Nice.
surprised pikachu no one could see this coming from a few thousand miles away
To be honest, not using TLS nowadays is pretty surprising.
Yeah, it’s actually easier to use TLS than not due to browser checks.
Does this actually matter so long as I just ask it questions I want answers to? I’m not feeding it any personal information. Sincere question. Enlighten me if so.
Having an app installed gives it a lot of information
Unencrypted just means people on the way to that server can peek
I’ve started using Firefox to install sites ‘as a web app’. I use that for cloud services and things I self host. Basically works like a native app but way more control over data.
You wouldn’t believe how little information can be personally identifying, especially when combined with other little pieces.
Also, knowing what’s on the mind of western people, how they write, how they engage in conversations can be extremely valuable information.
Oh no. They will know that I don’t know how to implement cache invalidation in python. /s

And that’s why you use local instances…
2nd place is duck.AI in via tor browser
True, but you need powerful server in order to run the most capable Deepseek model, which most people don’t have.
That’s an understatement. It won’t even fit well in 8xA100, you need an EPYC server to run it in CPU RAM, very slowly.
To run the 671B parameter R1, my napkin math was something like 3/4 of a million dollars in hardware. But that (plus the much lower training cost) made this a millionaire’s game rather than a billionaire’s. Plus the distillations do seem better than anything else we have at the smaller sizes at the moment. That said, I’m more looking forward to the first use of deepseek’s methods with google’s Titan architectures.
Absolutely “shocked” I tell you.
loudly places hand on side of face
This is dumb.
Even if you encrypt network traffic, the receiving server still knows what you’re doing. All it does is prevent third parties from snooping.
Usually.
Yes, so not only are they doing something shady, they’re doing something shady and exposing your data to anyone wanting to snoop it. What’s dumb about criticising the latter part?
The fact that anyone thinks they have any semblance of privacy when typing into an online AI chatbot is saddening.
Of course anything you type into a externally hosted AI is going to be harvested and sold.
But sure, in this case you are also potentially exposing your queries to your ISP or someone listening on your local network too.
Regardless of the downstream server, you should expect the interim traffic to be encrypted in transit
Sure, it’s not a bad thing and it should be standard practice, but to act like encrypted traffic guarantees privacy is silly.
The thing is that with the traffic unencrypted it opens the door to all sorts of attacks on that traffic.
It’s not just privacy.
If you can intercept and interpret you have the ability to replace as well.
This is the integrity of your data
Tell me where in this thread are anyone expecting privacy from any online LLM service, or anyone saying encrypted traffic guarantees privacy?
Privacy is not the same as security
Yep it also prevents anyone in the airport impersonating the WiFi and the bytedance server (which is trivial) and crafting payloads that run insecure code on your phone ( not that easy but there’s heaps of CVEs like this in apps like Safari over the years, so there’s at least 2x as many in an app like this)
Maybe they want 3rd parties snooping?
If you are implying that a government wants your data, they can just buy it or request it from the company directly. They don’t have to snoop to get it. Also SSL isn’t going to stop them.
Oh, no. I don’t mean USA government. I do mean some governments, but also any company between here an there.
Imagin that your company wants to sell user data. There are limits on what your company can sell due to contracts or laws, due to having a relationship with the customers.
Your company leases internet connections from another company, ISP or not, that can sell the data. Sending the data without SSL provides an okay, if not ideal, method to move that data.
The hell? There’s no reason to use plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.
And symmetric encryption is wildly irresponsible as well.
Well many of China’s websites don’t even use HTTPS. Look at china.org.cn, or en.people.cn for example
Depends on how much traffic you’re talking about. Encrypting/decrypting isn’t free.
It’s trivial compared to the compute they dedicate to AI models. Like, not even a rounding error.
A penny saved is still a penny saved. I’m not saying it would amount to much, but it is non-zero.
These are completely different systems. It doesn’t make a difference.

Ah, the ol’ Blahaj Pik-a-choo
its nice of them not to encrypt it at least. it can get harvested along the way!
Fucking duh
No shit?
