Good! The fact that it isn’t being banned in more places is surprising to me. No government should allow their employees or contractors to use it. Any company who deals with sensitive info should ban it. It should never be allowed in schools.
Since I like the parallel between that and Star Wars holocrons - perhaps there should be separate dedicated devices. Without networking capability, but with ability to add “layers” of the model in the form of memory cards or optical discs as media, containing database files. It helps that hardware to efficiently run an LLM is different than what’s fit for general-purpose applications. People use GPUs for that, but these can be purely dedicated computers of a particular kind.
The downside is that they’d not be usable for other things. The upside is that you can both have something very convenient and not fear what everyone fears. Display a QR code if you want to copy-paste an answer. Something like that.
“Security risks” is often an excuse, but it’s 100% on the money with this. AI is a security nightmare.
What about the rest of us 🥺
See EP, not so much fun when your devices are spied upon.
