On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?

Surprise surprise, those given access to the levers of power in the US are almost never pro-worker in reality.

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"

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

This almost certainly will go nowhere.

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.

Well, we do have ex post facto protection for the moment, soooo...

Yeah I have it on every device I own now.

No reason to use it ever, but it's there. Like, not installed, but there.

Ex post facto much?

Man I always thought Hawley would be a good president for the US.

Now I'm not so sure anymore.

You mean the coward who sent fundraising messages while hiding inside the Capitol on Jan 6?

People judging other people got really bad the last 10 years.

Good. They banned it here in Taiwan because it is a psyops tool even if you run the modal locally.

Do you have a source on Taiwan banning the local model? I only see this:

"Government agencies and critical infrastructure should not use DeepSeek, because it endangers national information security," according to a statement released by Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs, per Radio Free Asia.

"DeepSeek AI service is a Chinese product. Its operation involves cross-border transmission, and information leakage and other information security concerns."
