So we've gone from banning books to banning apps.

could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

So I'd get less for stabbing someone.

And you wouldn't believe how less it gave you for stealing millions from a pension fund.

Guess you'll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed "Tienanmen Square Massacre" so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.

In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine

Lmao.

The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.

A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren't we?

As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

Unless the goal is actually sabotage

Anyone who doesn't know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This skill is increasingly useful.

We need some Firefly emotes on Hexbear. Especially the combination of the USA-Chinese flag.

Cool! Do a flip next.

Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.

Hawley introduced the legislation, titled the Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act, on Wednesday of last year.

For people who see this, I think they meant "last month."

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Didn't I just read an article about Apple wanting to use it. It's open source it can be forked and be American tomorrow. No matter how much Openai crys. This just shows the true lack of any knowledge on the subject. I'm not a fan of the Chinese government as much of the next guy. But the information is out there.

Perplexity already runs a US copy of it.

Good thing I've just accepted a faculty position outside the US.

I'll get to move to a country that doesn't persecute academics and I think I'm just beating the crowds on the way out.

they want to jail people who use Deepseek

but not people who use Tiktok or Xiaohongshu
XHS has been out for weeks longer than Deepseek yet no action

this means that Deepseek is way more important and Sam Altman or someone else has tremendous power over the US government compared to facebook/google executives?

Anybody have a mirror link? It'd be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.

[–] DrainedOctagon@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 15 hours ago

I got it from ollama. You can select what version you want and how many parameters the model has. There are probably a few other mirror sites, but for now I think you could try out with this, until the law is passed and comes into effect.
