DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials say

[lurch@sh.itjust.works]

it's not fully open source. it comes with binary blobs you can't build from source.

[lurch@sh.itjust.works]

it's not fully ooen souce tho.

And what exactly is the average person sending to China that's such a threat to US global Imperialism?

Am agreeink with these quesiton. Too many US politicians are not great leaders like Putin. And China.

[imfinejustabittired@lemmy.ml]

Are you implying that the US is considering banning deepseek because they are worried the Chinese workers behind it are underpaid or what? How does what you said relate to the issue at hand?

[heavydust@sh.itjust.works]

Don’t try to revise history

You read wrong.

[heavydust@sh.itjust.works]

They spent tens of billions of dollars already. Of course they don't want cheap competition. That's basic capitalism, nothing pro or against China.

Unfortunately that's just a danger on the internet. Stupid users are gonna get scammed whether it's a stock trading AI that empties your bank account when you link it or a Nigerian Prince who just needs $5000 so he can unlock his fortune and repay you $100,000.

Even then, what national security upending information does the average citizen have stored on their phone that they're just whimsically uploading anywhere that'll take a PDF? Like I said, I understand restrictions on devices used by government officials for official purposes, but to ban it unilaterally for civilian use as well seems excessive.

The cope is absolutely unreal.

[fake4000@lemmy.world]

What do these blobs contain?

Does the version run locally also censors output?

[lurch@sh.itjust.works]

it's the so called weights. the learned data after training.

they didn't provide neither training data, nor lists of sources, so nobody can recreate it, but them.

[sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world]

It's open source. Trying to block it is futile now lmao

[themurphy@lemmy.ml]

Just like EV's and battery technology. Up to 40% tarrif on some brands.

They are cheaper with more range. The range is literally only achievable through better technology and hardware.

[whostosay@lemmy.world]

An absolute fuck ton

[eezyville@sh.itjust.works]

This is just so fun to watch.

America: "Executive order now! No US person is allowed to help the Chinese develop these technologies! We will imprison you traitor!"

China: "OK. We'll just develop it ourselves."
DeepSeek enters the chat

America: "Fuck! National security emergency!"

Distilling OpenAI and Llama models probably also helped quite a bit

Although I must admit, the the architectural changes are pretty cool

but I have to add, that I've just started reading into the topic a few weeks ago and don't really have any real practical experience, besides checking out some huggingface docs I got linked yesterday and stupid me hasn't thought about looking there...
So everything I say is probably bullshit o⁠:⁠-⁠)

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

Ever heard of Huntsville?

[qyron@sopuli.xyz]

Good. Perhaps while all the idiots are busy devising a "plan" to address this, those evil brain leave everyone else alone.

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

A lot of stuff. You analyze that data, you can refine your psyops.

[0liviuhhhhh@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Sure it made the training process faster, but this still takes a fraction of the energy to generate a single output compared to other LLMs like ChatGPT or Llama. Plus it's open source. You can't discredit a technological advancement for building upon previous advancement, especially when doing so with transparency.
