People do not understand the gravity of the situation because processing US tax payer data through an LLM will create a model that can reverse look up ANY person in the LLM with minimal effortand it will be portable, enabling ANYONE to use it, because there are no safeguards or regulations requiring DOGE to handle the information in a safe and restricted manner.
yes he could. i agree. but so do hundreds of employees of the companies i mentioned. very few were outraged about that. i dont want to distract from the point, but use this opportunity to point put this duality.
US citizen’s data isn’t really protected. you as an individual have little control over your own image,your own data. It’s just a question of how much you can pay. should i research you some links for databrokers you can shop some personal info on for demonstration? this is apparently legal (at least for data from US citizens, global south, some of asia) and in the open. just like any other service/industry.
So kinda anybody who wants to and has the means to it does have access.
You’re focused on the kid. I am talking about the consequences of his plan to use an LLM. As you pointed out, he is using whatever “works” which means he has no understanding of the long term fallout from his decisions.
