The USG has limited capabilities on technologies from GPS chips to thermal imaging with "national security" implications for a while and now they're doing it but it seems people don't like how ill defined "Mythos-class" means. Would it be better if it was some %X on some benchmark that the frontier model peddlers could just limbo under to make it "acceptable" for release? Do we just accept that jailbreaking will never be prevented?
The part of all this I do have a problem with is the national state cybersecurity cat-and-mouse this kicks off. Will the US tech landscape have enough time to safely get a "Mythos-class" model to harden itself before China releases or leverages a "Mythos-class" cyber munition?
- thfuran 3mo ago> The USG has limited capabilities on technologies from GPS chips Are you referring to Selective Availability? That ended decades ago.
- rcruzeiro 3mo agoSelective Availability accuracy restrictions ended decades ago, but GPS technology is still subject to various military and export-control restrictions.
- VectorLock 3mo agoNot selective availability. COCOM Limits that prevent a GPS chip from operating above a certain speed and altitude.
- withinboredom 3mo agoIt’s funny because it’s just (relativistic) math. It would cost a couple hundred bucks to roll your own with no restrictions.
- handoflixue 3mo ago"pumping the brakes" would be fine. This is slamming to a full stop on a crowded freeway and causing a three car pile-up. Warning and advanced notice are the difference between regulation and tyranny, and in this case we're just getting tyranny
- voidfunc 3mo ago> and in this case we're just getting tyranny You expected different with this administration?
- handoflixue 3mo agoOf course I expect the government to act better than this! But I am not so naive as to assume my expectations will be met.
- VectorLock 3mo agoA broken clock is still occasionally right.
- VectorLock 3mo agoGiven the current climate I'd be inclined to declare "tyranny" also but in this case I think given the degree of potential damage the slamming on of brakes is warranted when the alternative is, to strain a metaphor, going full speed off a cliff at relativistic speeds.
