From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to the blog post, it relies on the OpenAI API, which more counterintuitively than ever is anything but open, so you can say bye bye to your privacy when you use it, that would be the same for other services too actually, regardless of their openness, at most you can decide to put trust in their privacy policy.
Until we get a way to interact with online solutions via e.g. homomorphic encryption with decent performance, the only actually private way to use it is to self-host it, if they had implemented a locally run LLAMA based assistant instead, one of the more lightweight models maybe, then I think it would have been an excellent addition with no downsides
