Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Exactly.

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

ngl them not wanting me to download it makes me want to download it more than anything else, and I'm usually against ai

Hey deepseek. Remake Lemon Party but with Trump, Vance, and Elon.

Good luck trying to ban FOSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who's ever used a browser that isn't IE, everyone who's ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who's ever used any modern audio or video codec, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, and send the US back to the web's dark ages.

Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who's ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who's ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country's population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban?

Free speech and expression is one of the many previously-thought-to-be-inalienable rights that are in the current administration's crosshairs.

China : Discovers Anti-gravity
USA : Law preventing study of anti-gravity

This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.

Doesn't a VPN already circumvent this? ISPs already send out copyright violation emails if you torrent the wrong thing, but not if you do it through a VPN.

The way it's written, it sounds like we could download it in the US, after the law was passed, for 180 days, and then do whatever we want with it. Unfortunately, after that point, the test of it being "developed" in China would probably be met for anything but a near-total rewrite.

The Land of the free sure likes taking away freedoms and banning stuff

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Not me. It's the rest of you.

The Netherlands would be high on my list, too. What a pleasant place.

It can if you kind of squeeze the tube a little bit and then let it suck the paste back in. But it's really tedious.

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

The benefit of being an early adopter is my folder full of Donald Trump suckin' and fuckin' before all of the fun models got taken down from easy access.

NJB's praise of their infrastructure would have me sold on them if I could actually flee the US.

uh... no.
