Safe-an-Eff-FECK-tive.....

The corporate mantra, repeated by the controlled mediuh on command.
 
You have to ask?

Because the Broligarchs ARE our new Deep State. Understanding this makes Musk's antics, and his pretend support for Trump, and his fake-reform DOGE, all explainable.

The RINOpubicrats are controlled by the Tech Bro's. The Dumbocrackheads are herded by the New Marxists.

Take your pick. But don't you DARE even TRY to discuss something crazy, like regional Secession from Imperial Washington.
 
Whoops: Grok Bot Spills Tech CEO’s Bank Data In Public Slack: Shane Mac, a tech entrepreneur and CEO of the software developer XMTP Labs, decided to connect Grok Bot to his personal bank account. Like many people who attach undercooked big tech agentic AI agents to their personal accounts without reading the instructions (see: Muse’s rough last few weeks), it didn’t go well. Mac soon found that Grok not only posted his financial information and bank balances to his company’s Slack channel, the Grok Bot leaked the information while posing as Mac. Mac quickly headed over to Elon Musk’s right wing propaganda website to share his recent learning experience: (TechDirt)
 
The US Homeland Security Department is ordering the removal of DeepSeek products and third-party services using the Chinese AI model from US civilian agency IT systems, according ‌to a notice published Monday.

The department is also banning acquisition of DeepSeek products and third-party services developed using DeepSeek by US civilian government agencies. DHS said DeepSeek models pose "multiple threat vectors" and raised concerns that use of the product "may result in the transfer of sensitive data to the PRC if used by US government employees ⁠or vendors."

DHS also said use of DeepSeek by government agencies "could produce actionable intelligence on US persons and/or government agencies. The models themselves may contain malware or other security vulnerabilities."

On the surface, this seems a reasonable security precaution. But when you realize that Deepseek is open source (anyone can view the source code), the malware claim seems obviously ... incongruent. Also, it is my understanding that Deepseek can be installed locally so it doesn't share/transmit anything to China or 3rd parties so the concerns about transferring data do not hold water when Deepseek is used from a local installation.

It seems to me that this is an attempt to provide some protection for US AI companies by discouraging use of a freeware competitor.
 

AI fears are being weaponised​

Al Jazeera

The global discourse has been swept by apocalyptic prophecies. We see this doomsday narrative promoted by some within the AI industry and echoed at the highest levels of decision-making: from lawmakers like Senator Bernie Sanders championing bans on superintelligence, to cautionary messages from the Vatican, to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling open-source AI a real threat.

Worse still, the public panic is being weaponised to enforce a modern regime of digital colonisation – the concentration of power in the hands of a few AI corporations in a handful of countries.

The doomsday narrative provides the perfect justification for regulations that would target open-source AI models, which are free or cheaper to use and allow users to modify them to fit their needs. The logic presented to lawmakers is simple and seductive: if advanced AI is a potential weapon of mass destruction, it can only be developed by a trusted few. Under the banner of “safety”, tech giants are attempting to write the rules to protect their monopolies by shutting down competition from smaller, cheaper open-source AI models.
