AI is a nation defense issue. No nation has the luxury to stop their AI companies without the risk of losing national sovereignty.

- belter 9mo agoSo child porn is now a national security issue?
- squigz 9mo agoLumping image gen models, LLMs, and other forms of recent machine learning altogether and dressing it up in the "National Defence" ribbon doesn't seem like a great idea. I don't think the ability for citizens to make deep fake porn of whoever they want is the same as a country not investing in practical defensive applications of AI.
- dragonwriter 9mo ago> AI is a nation defense issue. AI image editors attached to social media networks with a design that allows producing AI edits (including, but not limited to, nonconsensual intimate images and child pornography) of other user’s media without consent are not a national defense issue, and, even to the extent that AI arguably is a national defense issue, those particular applications can be curtailed entirely by a nation without any adverse impact on national defense. You can distort any issue by zooming out to orbital level and ignoring the salient details.
- UncleMeat 9mo ago"We have to make the revenge porn machine for national defense" is the sort of thing that makes people light bay area tech busses on fire.
- ben_w 9mo agoI'm 90% sure LLMs are, just from how important code is, but image generators? Nah. They're as relevant to national sovereignty as having a local film industry: more than zero, because money is fungible, but still really really low.
