alt Hacker NewsIn my mental model, "my Outlook" is the outlook instance running on my computer, on my data. My outlook crashed today. Yours might not have crashed. Similarly, my Jira contains tickets about my work, your Jira does not contain those same tickets. That might be technically the same instance on the same SaaS server, but the server I'm routed to accessing my data with my credentials turns it into "my Jira". My Jira is slow. Maybe you are lucky and get routed to a faster server, or your company is self-hosting. Then your Jira might be reasonably fast

This is completely fine, as those are your own installs, but LLMs can't be owned by the users, your Opus is the same Opus as everyone else's, your only difference is the suscription tier to their API.
If you had your own on-premises LLM, that would indeed be your LLM, and it would make sense to compare it to the on-premises LLMs of other people, as your setup particulars would affect the result.
Hmm, good point. "My outlook" might actually be correct. Depending on if it is a webapp or the real one running on your device that is.
Similiar to "My game just crashed".
Jira otoh is not yours, because it's in the cloud. It might be "my internet connection", "my browser" or "my account" that is having trouble.

Hm. "My train got delayed" is interesting in this context. I don't find that offensive. But that also might be because trains don't seek rent the way SaaS does? Not sure.
I guess trains do not hold me hostage. They might just be a container in which someone does that.
Jira, cloud LLM inference or similar otoh..
