Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

On first run it downloads the model, then you just run it locally

In other news, Chinese food restaurants will serve only burgers and fries and call themselves Freedom food restaurants.

[yarharsuperstar@lemmy.world]

Thank you, that answers my question exactly.

[vitorobles@lemmy.today]

We'll call it FREEDOM FOOD. Please, pass the FREEDOM beef chow fun, and the AMERICAN Fortune cookies, and BLUE EAGLE AR-15 green tea.

So if I get a new computer in a few months it will no loner work. Maybe we can VPN into Sweden?

[persnickitypenguin@lemm.ee]

This bill is likely sponsored by Sam Altman himself

Err, DOD is buying into OpenAI to manage the nuclear weapons.

You don't expect this law to count for the people at the top, do you?

So, only the rest of the world gets superior technology.

The investors will love that.

It is much worse. I hope I am reading it wrong, but:

The term ‘‘technology’’ [...] includes [...] any semiconductor, circuit board, operating system, graphics processing unit, central processing unit, tenor processing unit, field-programmable gate array, random access memory, hard drive, solid-state drive, dataflow architecture, or cloud-computing service, that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, completed, [...] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence [...] and any other hardware, software, equipment, device, component, robotic computer, processor, network [...] that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, [...] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence.

This would mean that importing and exporting literally any piece of IT equipment, from a Ubuntu installer to a RAM chip, is illegal. Good luck & have fun.

I assume you know you can transfer files from one pc to a other?

[risingswell@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Pretty sure fortune cookies are American anyway? Pretty sure they aren't chinese

[zecg@lemmy.world]

Jeeez, just copy the ollama's directory (something like .ollama) from user's dir to wherever. You can check and find the files inside. I find the published 14b really useful, it's ten GB that think and reason in english.

[zecg@lemmy.world]

Run it using ollama in a terminal (like ollama run model_name), ask it a question.

Torrenting is going to be wild in 2025.

This is designed to stop businesses to use locally deployed models and be forced to deploy cloud services by any of the cocksuckers that sat frontlins in the inauguration.

[qevlarr@lemmy.world]

It's good old "everything is now illegal" law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the new dictatorship handbook

Government banned Chinese AI?

Step 1: ask a friend from any other country to fork the model (brotip: use magnets for faster acquiring a friend)

Step 2: have your friend rename the AI.

Step 3: now the model is from said country.

Step 4: download the model from said fork.

OpenAI will go bankrupt. US Government will be jelly. Problem?
