US investigates DeepSeek over national security concerns
https://ground.news/article/us-navy-bans-use-of-deepseek-due-to-security-and-ethical-concerns_199337
What is this shit. Article says
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that the National Security Council (NSC) will review the potential national security implications of DeepSeek’s launch and emphasized the government’s goal of “ensuring US dominance in artificial intelligence.”
So now "National Security" is forcing monopolies even if it gives your citizens more centralized and costly tools and thus slows down all innovation including AI in the US? How is that security?
The worry of not giving your query data to China? These are open source models. Which means they can be hosted by anyone with enough hardware which is much less hardware than for the equivalent US models. Several US companies are now running the models. Hell I run the distilled smaller version on my own desktop. No data security risk at all in that.
But I am not surprised. The TikTok noise was never about TikTok but abotu giving government the power to stifle any tech and apps it wants under the name of "National Security". Don't believe me? Go read the Restrict Act proposed back in 2023 and push as anti-TikTok bill when actually it spells out being so very much more.
