Technology

This is astounding.

I mean, not the Deepseek or jailing stuff. I mean a Senator actually proposing a law. I thought the way our government worked was, the annoying orange declares a vague uncited threat to be bad, and signs an executive order on it!

The desperation... It reeks

Sounds like they haven't got better things to do if they're drafting these kinds of bills

Saw this coming as soon as Microsoft immediately wanted to investigate.

Deepseek is going to be a Chinese military complex on the books shortly.

Because China "leveraged" US technology 20 years ago, US politicians bring it up as a current shittalking point still. Deepseek, being open source, is opportunity for Americans to gain technology transfer from China, without "stealing".

There is a desperation to protect US AI, mostly so that AI companies are indebted into serving the empire, and maybe the GOP,

Something AI is extremely capable today is deciding who to ban on reddit, or at the individual voter level, decide who should be turned away from elections. Recent US election had record voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted. Previously, black was a sufficient suppression incentive. AI makes it easy to target individuals or other factors. Musk, being praised for understanding "election machines", now with access to SS numbers and an ability to link to voters or views on Israel/genocide, is a super power that ensures being king maker in perpetuity.

next up: US Bill proposed to jail people who watch MSNBC US Bill proposed to jail people who watch PBS US Bill proposed to jail people who don't buy a cybertruck US Bill proposed to jail people who don't vote GOP

So much freedom, so little time.

Good to see some socialist policy's making their way to the US..

Oh wait...

Download the model and run locally is the most secure and privacy friendly way to use it.

It's absurd how little they know about what they are doing.

Well I guess that means its time to download it even though I don't know what I'll do with it.

That's awesome! I didn't know you could download an LLM and run it locally! That's what I'm really interested in is something that's on my side and not a conduit to Google, MS or other.

I'm so glad Hawley proposed this bill or I wouldn't have known that deepseek was open source and downloadable! I'll have to go look for a download.

You wouldn't download a car and then perform all the necessary lost wax casting, pressing, punching, machining, painting etc etc. Would you?

No!

You would download a finished car!

God, I hate Hawley. He’s an embarrassment to my state.

He doesn’t even live in Missouri.

Pretty sure that requires open-ai to be jailed

Wasn't that interested before but it does give it a certain allure now to be sure.

I don't think he understands how open source works...

I'll download it twice

Made the switch to DeepSeek fo’ life.

Fascist regime and power/police abuse has started.

P.S.: It seems like the US is becoming similar to Russia, kleptocratic country and organised crime in government.

People like this should not be a government representative. But I guess that's the trend lately

Sooner or later we're gonna have to bypass the Great Firewall of America by VPNing into China

Your tax dollars at work!

now i gotta download something i don't even wanna download.
