Capitalism truly thrives on competition and innovation

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

I’m surprised usually Hawley is pro running

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.

One word: pathetic.

US is getting very desperate

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day

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.

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 not even including that most other countries in the world will probably want to distance themselves from the US if this keeps up.

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

It is much worse. I hope I am reading it wrong, but:

The term ‘‘technology’’ […] includes […] any semiconductor, circuit board, operating system, graphics processing unit, central processing unit, tenor processing unit, field-programmable gate array, random access memory, hard drive, solid-state drive, dataflow architecture, or cloud-computing service, that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, completed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence […] and any other hardware, software, equipment, device, component, robotic computer, processor, network […] that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence.

This would mean that importing and exporting literally any piece of IT equipment, from a Ubuntu installer to a RAM chip, is illegal. Good luck & have fun.

Torrenting is going to be wild in 2025.

So, only the rest of the world gets superior technology.

The investors will love that.

This is designed to stop businesses to use locally deployed models and be forced to deploy cloud services by any of the cocksuckers that sat frontlins in the inauguration.

Oh what’s that? Yeah that’s Barbara Streisand’s house
