HELL YEAH I'M GONNA BREAK THE LAW 
In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
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?
Well OpenAi and the companies that are set up to support them like Nvidia
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.

Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a "straightforward solution", but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.

Who is gonna tell this person the truth?
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.
Nice to see the brain drain of the US in action. I'm glad I don't have to see it's downfall firsthand.

We need some Firefly emotes on Hexbear. Especially the combination of the USA-Chinese flag.
Download it now, then. Before it becomesa law.
According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
Gulag ain't "jail"
America is a democratic country ?
Yes, it's democratic for the class that holds power.
Always has been. Jpeg
On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?
