Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

[captainbasculin@lemmy.ml]

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?

I was playing this whole thing out in my head, and trying to justify the confidence of Trump and pals with such seemingly stupid moves.
The only thing I can think of is that they believe that the money they will save (steal) from the government cuts, etc, will make up for the huge losses from the tariffs.
And then they would have to believe that their internal AI development is at a point where they can overpower every other nation on earth, and so they don't need those international relations anymore.
I mean, technically every single Tesla in the world is a camera for Elon, and a huge percentage of internet traffic goes through US servers.

But then I think, even if they do have all of these advantages, China seems to be catching up pretty quickly, is allied with over 50% of the planet through BRICS, has protected itself from their technological expansion.
This is without counting that most countries are losing trust with the US.

Either I'm in denial, or it really is just Trump and Elon are being blinded by their overinflated egos.

USA is getting very desperate

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

So you can't download them, you should run them directly on tencent cloud or something? Smart...

[lh0ezvt@sh.itjust.works]

I'd like to point out that it is only one single proposal. If this does not get shut down, then it is time to be worried. But for now, it might just be one glue-sniffing Congressperson sniffing the wrong kind of glue one morning.

Rip iPhone.

Being open weights, if I, resident of Ijustmadeitupista n take it and make a very slight tweak, would it be OK for this rule?

And, if my pal from China takes a US open model and tweaks it to criticize CCP, will it be banned?

I honestly think politicians should think just a bit before trying to legislate things they clearly don't understand.

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Technically this isn't the case. These are Deepseek distilled with Qwen and Llama depending on the weight, so they are no longer Deep seek.

I'm surprised usually Hawley is pro running

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I don't even like ai but this just makes me want to download Deepseek as much as I can

[iavicenna@lemmy.world]

Capitalism truly thrives on competition and innovation

[evotech@lemmy.world]

Well yes, it does specifically say so in the link. There's also one with the full model in what I linked

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Oh nice, when Ollama first had this up I don't think the 671b model was there. I stand corrected on that!

[daddy32@lemmy.world]

One word: pathetic.

[_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Don't fork them, because when a project get taken down, so do all the forks. Download it, and manually create a new repo.

[_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

holy shit, you weren't kidding when you said it was large.

[nutsack@lemmy.world]

Yes, that will show them for sure

the lawmakers are getting more corrupt is all. the incompetence is an illusion. corrupt governments do a lot of things that don't appear to make any sense
