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

[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.

[0liviuhhhhh@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

And why should I be more worried about a hypothetical psyop that i might experience than the current psyops that I am experiencing?

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

You are experiencing psyops from every direction. Some are just more obvious than others.

[homesweethomemrl@lemmy.world]

Uh . . no . . no we hav- I mean, I haven't. Could you maybe upload some video of this "Huntsville"? Preferably in angles that are not otherwise obtainable via a sweep of existing Internet resources?

We uh have a friend who is very interested in Huntsville, maybe you could focus on some of the city's important areas and uh, industries.

[magnus919@lemmy.brandyapple.com]

Let's also remember that "U.S. officials" now describes MAGA flunkies that replaced actually qualified professionals.

[satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world]

Or using slave labour so if the US is smart it should use prisoners to build cheap EVs.
