#22Oh wow, look, more shit the general public could not care less about.
This sounds like a company in free fall, which isn't terribly surprising, given who is at the helm.

#23Why would gov agencies rely on 3rd party services while they could deploy opensource LLMs locally and privately?

#24Stuff like this troubles me. I am in defense tech working with LLMs and I am here to tell you the guards and fences are down at the chow truck while commoners are using LLMs.
I don't really understand why people bash so hard on LLMs. In some cases it is a spectacularly bad tool, I get that. But it is only a tool. Imagine if you have a judge giving out sentences based on astrology books. I don't think anyone would argue the problem would be resolved by banning astrology books from our libraries.
.... WAT.
Just kick out the judge who clearly... lacks judgment.

> I am here to tell you the guards and fences are down at the chow truck while commoners are using LLMs. I've read this over and over and have no idea what this means.
I hate to be that guy, but here's what ChatGPT says:
This expression uses metaphorical language to describe a situation where traditional barriers, hierarchies, or protections have been removed, allowing broader access or disrupting the status quo. Here's a breakdown:
1. "Guards and fences are down" - This implies that the usual controls, restrictions, or gatekeepers are no longer in place.
2. "At the chow truck" - The chow truck symbolizes something previously exclusive or regulated, like access to resources, opportunities, or knowledge.
3. "While commoners are using LLMs" - Refers to everyday people (as opposed to elites or specialists) now having access to advanced technology, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), like AI tools for generating text.
Together, the expression likely means that AI-powered tools have democratized access to knowledge and creativity, breaking down barriers that once limited these capabilities to experts, institutions, or privileged individuals. It highlights a significant shift where advanced tools are now accessible to "commoners," disrupting traditional power dynamics.

#26This should be unsurprising- see also govcloud: https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us
The US government likes its employees and contractors to have their own separate version of cloud products. For instance you would not want OpenAI using prompts about controlled unclassified information as training data. Most of the things government contractors do is CUI- you don't want it spread around, but it's not actually a secret. The US goes out of its way to minimize how much CUI is exposed, and on top of that you have export controls like ITAR and then of course classified information.

Lol! Since when has the US government not jumped at the opportunity to pay a company obscene amounts of money?

Seems an OpenAI employee downvoted it.
Re: Introducing ChatGPT Gov
#29This makes a lot of sense. It’s just following the model of how cloud services have a separate government focused infrastructure for government use, with appropriate certifications and regulatory requirements met. I don’t understand the comments calling this desperate - it’s what we want American providers to do, to bring the power of AI to government agencies.
Re: Introducing ChatGPT Gov
#30Sounds like a desperate move, now that the insane valuations, GPU capacity projections, and subscription revenue are at risk.
Probably trying to say to investors, "the government will never use DeepSeek, our moat is being a trusted US AI company who is trusted for government work" Whether it sticks or not is another matter.
No reason to not trust deepseek, once you run it locally.
You can't use it for DoD purposes through...
