China training military AI on Meta’s Llama

Advanced Computing, AI/ML, Chips, and Extended Reality

Good morning,

China has turned to Meta’s Llama AI model, fine-tuning it, for military use. Llama is an open-source large language model but Meta says that the PLA is unauthorized to use Llama. That’s the thing about open-source models though, that genie is out of the bottle and Zack’s people won’t be able to put it back in there. The PLA’s fine-tuned program uses Llama for gathering and processing intelligence and providing recommendations as a decision-support tool.

China has also found a bunch of deep-sea sensors and emitters that they claim are a combination of spying devices and ‘lighthouses.’ These lighthouses help submarines to navigate deep under the surface where GPS isn’t available.

Now, let’s dig in to some news around Quantum Tech, AI, and Nanotech!
