Bill proposed to outlaw downloading Chinese AI models.

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

Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.

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

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.

[hollownaught@lemmy.world]

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

[rangerjosey@lemmy.ml]

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.

[dfx4509b_2@lemmy.org]

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.
