It was never possible to keep this technology secret for any length of time.

I thought the possibility to run these LLMs on everyday hardware would be further on the future and in the beginning more limited to big servers.

But this could be the equivalent of the Low Orbit Ion Canon for phishers and scammers

It also makes it easier for the defense/blue team side to build counters or monitor and defend the attack surface of a given system against these attacks.

Digital arms races are nothing new, this is just the latest battlefield.

My local LLM will automatically detect scams and phishing attempts so it'll all balance out.
