I do wonder what models it uses under the hood.

ChatGPT already knows more about me than Google did before LLMs, but would I switch to inferior models to preserve privacy? Hard tradeoff.

What he did with messaging... So he will centralize all of it with known broken SGX metadata protections, weak supply chain integrity, and a mandate everyone supply their phone numbers and agree to Apple or Google terms of service to use it?

The website is: https://confer.to/

"Confer - Truly private AI. Your space to think."

"Your Data Remains Yours, Never trained on. Never sold. Never shared. Nobody can access it but you."

"Continue With Google"

Make of that what you will.

what did he do for messaging? Signal is hardly more private than goddamn Whatsapp. in fact, given that Whatsapp had not been heavily shilled as the "totally private messenger for journalists and whistleblowers :^)" by the establishment media, I distrust it less.
