The point is that this is all happening in a cloud. One that is probably located in the US. Not a good thing for a non-US government to send potentially confidential or even secret data to.

It doesn’t have to, you can run LLMs locally. We do at my org, and we only have a few dozen people using it, and it’s running on relatively modest hardware (Mac Mini for smaller models, Mac Studio for larger models).

Yeah, shitty toy ones. This here is about productivity, not about a hobby. And not even real state-of-the-art models were able to actually give a productivity advantage.

Yeah… You do it, but do you think the UK government does?

My point is they could if they were concerned about data leaks.
