SpaceX data LLM being exposed is likely a recipe for a huge ITAR violation
- foota 1y agoIs ITAR like other compliance sort of fields where you have to store data only in compliant places, or is it just based on actual leaks etc.,?
- freeone3000 1y agoITAR (International Trafficking in Arms Regulation) is paranoid. Every single specific person that knows even dual-use information, such as composite wing design, must be individually authorized. I’ve been asked to leave the room when my girlfriend, who works for a passenger aircraft manufacturer, was designing a repair for a plane I have literally flew on. It doesn’t matter how the person got access to dual-use info, like basically everything to do with large rockets, it’s 100% forbidden.
- foota 1y agoThat's the people aspect of it, but what about the technical aspect of it? Can I store ITAR restricted information in plaintext on a thumb drive if I think it's safe?
- dismalpedigree 1y agoThis seems like a company policy more than ITAR. Unless you are not a US citizen, then it could be ITAR.
- freeone3000 1y agoWe’re in Canada, and I’m a US citizen, but she is not.
- pavlov 1y agoDOGE has probably fired everyone who could pursue those penalties.

- ActorNightly 1y agoIt is, but the issue is the current administration has made it abundantly clear that it doesn't care about anything legal.
- NitpickLawyer 1y agoIf there's actually any proprietary rockety data, maybe. Without knowing what data went into the fine-tune there's no way to tell. This could be a "internal procedures chatbot" or an "onboarding chatbot" where new people can ask where the coolest watercooler in the company is. In my experience post-training mainly deals with "how" the model displays whatever data ("knowledge") it spits out. Having it learn new data (say the number of screws on the new supersecretengine_v4_final_FINAL (1).pdf) is often time hit and miss. You'd get much better results with having some sort of RAG / MCP (tools) integration do the actual digging, and the model just synthesising / summarising the results.
- mewse 1y agoOr, since we're apparently playing the game of maybes in this thread, maybe the LLM was only trained on the teams grandmothers' spaghetti recipes, so that new hires can learn to make the best bolognese sauce.
- ben_w 1y agoThis being Musk, it wouldn't surprise me. I mean, consider The Boring Company sell a "flamethrower" despite being theoretically about… boring.
- tomalbrc 1y agoBecause Tesla is making.. coils?
- jsjohnst 1y agoBoring as the noun, not adjective. Also, Tesla was named that before Musk was involved, so it’s not his humor involved in naming both. Nikola Tesla is known for a lot more than just Tesla coils.
- lesuorac 1y agoI think you missed a lot of the word play. Somebody else has explained Bore[1]-ing vs boring. But they sold a blowtorch aka not a flamethrower. The difference being a flamethrower actually "throws flames" like 10+ feet. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore
