As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything
In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420
another great day of not being an american
The whole globe is sliding right. It's not a great day for anyone.
Sliding right and left. It's becoming more polarized as Empire decays.
true but they will not stop me. even if i was american, i'd download deepseek, idc about anything at this point
They'll sing praises of the "free market" all day, until it stops going their way.
A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren't we?
The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
Anyone who doesn't know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This skill is increasingly useful.
Genuinely great comm and resource.
oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights...

So we've gone from banning books to banning apps.
could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
So I'd get less for stabbing someone.
And you wouldn't believe how less it gave you for stealing millions from a pension fund.
Good thing I've just accepted a faculty position outside the US.
I'll get to move to a country that doesn't persecute academics and I think I'm just beating the crowds on the way out.
Guess you'll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed "Tienanmen Square Massacre" so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.
Hawley introduced the legislation, titled the Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act, on Wednesday of last year.
For people who see this, I think they meant "last month."
Lmao.
The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
Yeah jail everyone doing piracy too (they also might do that lmao) im reporting every republican I know using an illegal firestick,ill make california blue
You're supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf
It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
Cool! Do a flip next.
Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.
Yeah that TikTok ban is paying off already! We really saved the children this time!!! WAhooo!!!! \s \s \s
what a joke.
Clown Country
Some jokes are not amusing.
Yes in this context it means "pathetic". For people who were thinking I mean the other meaning of joke.
if i was american i'd download it rn
According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?
Surprise surprise, those given access to the levers of power in the US are almost never pro-worker in reality.
Can't even respect their own anthem
Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a "straightforward solution", but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.
This almost certainly will go nowhere.
Download it now, then. Before it becomesa law.
Ex post facto much?
Good. They banned it here in Taiwan because it is a psyops tool even if you run the modal locally.
Cope harder lmao
