> You don't possess an AI, you are using someone's AI
I'm reasonably sure the instance of Olmo 3.1 running locally on this very machine via ollama/Alpaca is very much in my possession, and not someone else's.
I didn't hand-wire the transistors and hand-write the software that constitute the computer on which I'm writing this comment, but said computer is rather unambiguously mine and mine alone. Why would the local copy of the LLM on that same computer be any different? Does my coffee mug cease to be mine if someone else happens to have an identical one?
