Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

[eezyville@sh.itjust.works]

I thought software and thus code was protected as free speech?

[goun@lemmy.ml]

Alright, now I'm hooked

[rangerjosey@lemmy.ml]

Just try to stop me. Or anyone for that matter.

The "does it connect to the wifi" mfers came up with this one I'm sure.

[treczoks@lemmy.world]

They are afraid. Very afraid. Good.

[jhex@lemmy.world]

The paste does not go back in the tube....

[koalaunknown@lemmy.world]

Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

It is a single proposal but maybe anybody with an extra terabyte sitting around might want to hold on to a copy

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

its probably not about that though.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Yes, yes, burn it all. Make the people very very angry. It takes a lot to engage a Luddite and we need them all.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

At least until they decide to Make it illegal for ISPs to allow you to torrent.

And yes I hear all the people saying can't, won't, laws, to which I say those things are all tenuous at best at the moment.

The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights...

... like the right of shareholders to make money.

[phoenixz@lemmy.ca]

Awesome, so on top of all the other crap, like a economy that is going off a cliff, the US wants to actually get further behind on AI, just so that assman van make a few extra dollars

[mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org]

I already have every version downloaded on my nas, more cause I hate redownloading things and am a pack rat.

[furbag@lemmy.world]

Ah yes, the "free market" in action.

We are rotten to the core.

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

[artificialfish@programming.dev]

Exactly.

We will just put Trump porn on the whitehouse.gov site to show you how little control America has over its digital economy.
