The #Volkswagen #geolocation leak is a great example of why I am such a luddite when it comes to sharing data with companies. I use as few cloud services as possible (for example, with Apple, I only use the "Find My" service from iCloud).

Even if you make an informed decision to share your data with a company, the data can still leak by accident or through a system compromise. The unfortunate fact is that these days, many services are made difficult or even impossible to use without accepting excessive data sharing.

Nach #Habeck's Abfangdebakel muss der #Bund seine Sicherheitsvorkehrungen auf den Prüfstand stellen.
#SozialeNetzwerke können gefährlich werden, durch die Möglichkeit von Zusammenrottungen und #Infoleaks über Aufenthaltsorte von Politikern.
Kritik ist okay, aber #Gewalt ist absolut inakzeptabel. Dass #Bauern hier jetzt die #Gelbjacken spielen ist nicht okay.

However, I'm curious about what the volume of adoption will be. LangSmith is a platform, not a self-hosted opensource MLOps tool. Are engineers/users really willing to give all their data to yet another third party?
Some people already hesitate to use AI API's (such as the OpenAI GPT API) because they're concerned with leaking sensitive data -- let alone using third-party AI platforms that man-in-the-middle your LLM conversations.
