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!

Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”

data-harvesting

???

It runs offline... using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data...

It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true

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

I wasn't thinking of downloading an AI onto my low tier computer until now.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that's about to get deepseek just because they're proposing this dumb ass shit. I don't even use Gen AI.

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

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

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 19 hours ago

They don't.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that requires open-ai to be jailed

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

You need to think in Republican. Corporations are people up to the moment they commit a crime, at which point they are not people.

Print the code in a book and mail it.

Surely, they cannot ban books... right? Right?

Edit: Wait wait wait... the Comstock Act says mail cannot be used for anything that can be used for abortion. And a AI can theoretically be used to get instructions for abortion. BOOM, it's banned! 👀

So I guess it's free speech as long as you agree with the goverment's speech. If not, then it's a crime.

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

free speech is when racial slurs obviously

It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Eh, it's just virtue signaling nonsense. It's not going anywhere.

[–] knighthawk0811@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

that's what they said about vaguely gestures at everything

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

[–] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago
