YMMV based on the company you’re applying to and how thoroughly theyre going to vet past work history, but I managed to land my current job by just putting “June 2024” as my leaving date instead of “June 2022” and just said the company recently restructured and did layoffs.

That was the plan in 2020. Unfortunately, the vaccine didn’t work properly and instead of turning people trans it just turned them into magnets.
Oopsies
It was too hard to get ahead as a straight white dude and I wanted some of that woke privilege

Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish1·6 months agoSure 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.
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish3·6 months agoUnfortunately 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.
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish3·6 months agoThen you should’ve specified that those were the parameters you wanted. Answers and thought processes will vary based on the prompt provided.
My point is that you can still use creative prompting to get answers you want that should be blocked due to its safety constraints. My point isn’t that there’s no guidelines to work around.
I’m not an AI researcher nor do I work professionally with AI so I’m not familiar with 100% of the background processes involved with these LLMs but if the question is “can you get Deepseek to talk about Tiananmen Square” then the answer is yes.

Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish7·6 months agoElectric cars and Huawei are two recent examples off the top of my head
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish4·6 months agoLike I said, it just takes creative prompting
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish9·6 months agoI’m not here to discuss the validity of Tiananmen Square, that was just the example I keep seeing used.
Why does it matter if one source doesn’t provide the official CIA story? You can look up how America views that event anywhere.
How is that censorship any worse than US tech companies blocking you from being able to say the word “Republican” in a negative context?
Also, you left out the most important part “without a little effort.” Deepseek will happily tell you anything you want about Tiananmen Square from any perspective you ask it with a little creative prompting.
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish7·6 months agooh yeah, not denying that the prototype will be more expensive and resource intensive than following versions, but the whole “US overspends on novel technology, China blows that technology out of the water and shows this tech is both accessible and affordable, US bans Chinese product because American companies don’t want to compete” shtick is just getting old
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish13·6 months agoAnd what exactly is the average person sending to China that’s such a threat to US global Imperialism?
Sure, ban it on government devices or whatever you want to do, but why should civilians be punished because the government can’t embezzle as efficiently?
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish37·6 months agoI just find it amusing how when proprietary data/company secrets/whatever are being sent to openAI it’s a matter of “that was irresponsible don’t let it happen again” but some guy in Kentucky isn’t able to get a detailed description of Tiananmen Square from the US perspective without a little effort and it’s the end of national security as we know it.
Same with the tiktok ban. How many classified military secrets do we think some regular dude in a trailer in Alabama really has on his phone?
“National Security” in the US is literally just code for rich people’s bank accounts at this point.
Livto Technology@lemmy.world•DeepSeek AI raises national security concerns, U.S. officials sayEnglish134·6 months agoOf course it’s a national security threat, it’s just more proof that the US economy is just a giant ponzi scheme.
If China can do it better on a budget of $6m in 18 months with low end equipment, then why does it take an American company 10 years, half a trillion dollars, and the entire nation’s supply of high-end graphics cards?
Livto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are we in an AI arms race? What's actually at stake?English6·6 months agoAbsolutely overvalued. Companies overcharging on military contracts by orders of magnitude is the standard. Hell, the air force was buying mugs for over $1k/mug not too long ago, I’m not sure if they ever actually did anything about it but I remember it being reported on a couple of years ago.
The US is scary because of its nuclear arsenal. Most of the $850B budget goes to the contractors solely for R&D, sustained production is rare, and even the “sustained” results in at most 200 units.
AI has been proven to show bias because the data its trained on shows bias but the us doesn’t care as long as that bias is pointed at the “enemy” (read: anyone south of Texas or east of Ukraine) so that enemy can be most effectively eliminated. We’re not leading in any development, production, or ethics, we’re just paying rich assholes to make indiscriminate killing machines unbound by morals and easily scapegoated when things go wrong.
I see people actually in the military constantly complaining about how far behind technologically the military is. Only the special forces/CIA/seals/etc get the really cool toys
Livto politics @lemmy.world•Karoline Leavitt Youngest WH Press Secretary, Vows to Hold Media Accountable with Bold New ApproachEnglish9·6 months agoLmao of course the propaganda mouthpiece is gonna tell everyone their focus is truth
Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of “protecting children” but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography
And by funny obviously I mean horrifying
