If you check blog.archive.*, a russian landing page with a warning that the page has been blocked by government authorities comes up. Maybe related?

The issue is that you wouldn't be able to even transparently get to any evidence, as these models are blackboxes.

They might start scheming behind employees backs as soon as they realize they are being used in critical infrastructure of adversaries. And nobody would know until it's too late.

Aren't all LLMs just as blackboxey?

If you sell a blackbox that you constructed yourself, then you are also liable for anything that happens.

If you sell a blackbox from a third-party (e.g. from China), you are liable for somebody else's decisions that you cannot scrutinize.

So, that's kind of the argumentation that underlies sovereignty and why Chinese Models are not being used in critical infrastructure.

That makes sense, thanks.

Corruption is like cancer.

And as if there isn't a middle-way here to have short-term contractors _not_ from large consultancies.

Or rethinking approaches, and doing such work via OSS, and paying maintainers to keep code up to date, which France has been doing iirc.

France is a very bad example if you're gonna talk about State corruption (and taking insane amounts of public money into private pockets) and FLOSS maintenance. There's very isolated cases of public services producing free-software, but that's a drop in the ocean compared to the billions siphoned out of our pockets for Microsoft, Palantir, or other profoundly-incapable consultancies such as Atos, Bull, Thales, McKinsey.

Latest macOS does have an integrated local LLM shipped on device! Not SOTA but something.

I would assume, because the title and parts of the book suggest reducing human connections to utility and personal gain.

I am biased towards 67

Funny, I didn't know there were 10 years old on hacker news!

The thirteen-year-olds are biased towards 69.

I have yet to see still more projects like that, I would love to see more stuff like that - please share!
