The Washington Department of Licensing said in a statement that it was trying to fix the Spanish option and figure out how it happened in the first place.

reading between the lines: they didn’t fucking test it at all before rolling it out.

“Your estimated wait time is less than ‘tres’ minutes,” the voice said.

yeah bro AGI is right around the corner bro I just need like 10 or 20 billion more dollars to buy more GPUs trust me bro it’s gonna be awesome

That’s just the model we already have documented information about.

OK. can you link to that “documented information”?

because I googled “gemma chinese government” and nothing obvious popped up. but maybe I’m just out of the loop when it comes to reasons we should be afraid of those nefarious Chinese people who work for the Chinese government and/or the (insert ominous music here) Chinese Communist Party.

Notice I mentioned CCP and government, not “the Chinese”.

uh-huh. so, a thought experiment:

a genie gives me the list of IP address ranges that the Chinese government is using when it scans the internet for potential exploits.

I’m going to run Ollama, and expose it to the public internet…except I’m going to deny all traffic to & from those specific IP ranges.

that’s still a bad idea, right? because there are many many many other possible threat actors?

this is like the difference between someone telling you “lock your doors at night because of burglars” vs “lock your doors at night because of black people”. you’re showing your whole ass when you talk about cybersecurity in general but then make the jump to “cybersecurity is important because those sneaky Asians will hack you”.

the Chinese government

the CCP

exposing something like Ollama to the public internet is a bad idea, full stop. there’s no need to bring “omg China scary” xenophobia into it.

upcoming AI legislations around the world

this is so broad that it is impossible to answer.

if you can point to an individual piece of legislation and its actual text (in other words, not just a politician saying “we should regulate such-and-such” but actually writing out the proposed law) then it would be possible to read the text and at least try to figure it out.
