Comment on Too much open-source AI is exposing itself to the web

That’s like calling someone an antisemite for being against the Israeli or Iranian government.

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.
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”.
