In this Short Stuff episode, Kieren and Riku ask a simple question: how can we trust chatbots with our most personal data?  They unpack what "open source" really means for LLMs (open weights vs training code vs datasets), argue for nutrition-label-style transparency, and share practical tips like when to run a model locally for privacy and what trade-offs to expect.
