A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

shame for the software engineers, marketing, the middle managers, the project owner of not over communicating that THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAYS OF ENCRYPTING MACHINE LEARNING MODELS INPUT
therefore, your chat are plainly read and known by the provider, lest you trust the privacy policy of a company, which WILL ALWAYS change anyway. There are no mathematical trust here, such as encryption in instant messaging like matrix.
