I used to think this way. Until I found that with emacs you can edit any file on an SSH enabled computer remotely. Meaning that not only are you no longer constrained by what the computer has installed. But you can use your personality configured editor while editing that file. It’s called tramp.

BTW, with Emacs you can use vim key bindings evil-mode, so don’t stress about that.

I love kagi but I don’t think it actively filters out ai generated content.

I know when searching for pictures you can disable AI generated images.

I think the hard part for a search engine is that unless there is some kind of identifying mark on the content, how do they know that an ai didn’t write a top 10 list of pastebin alternatives?

You are right that something that most others will host for free are going to be censored since otherwise they might have some kind of responsibility legally. I learned this while trying to diagnose an issue with my cars door lock.

At the end of the day, anything you ask some hosted llm is being recorded so if you actually want something uncensored or something that gives you a sense of freedom then the only real option is to self host.

Luckily, it’s very simple and can even be done on a low spec device if you pick the right model. The amount and type of ram you have a will dictate how many parameters you can run at a decent speed.
