You run Hermes and have a personal assistant.

You run uncensored local models where you can ask questions that would get denied by public providers, or questions that you prefer them not to know the intricate details (like your financial planning)

Ah I see. I guess people who have spare $10-20k on a PC to run a "personal assistant" perhaps really benefit from a personal assistant. A niche in itself.

You're just spending money to have the computer value normal people will have a few years from now.

There's value in knowing what capabilities local models will have on regular hardware in the near future.

That people still put sensitive information into cloud based AIs still boggles my mind.
