Yeah jail everyone doing piracy too (they also might do that lmao) im reporting every republican I know using an illegal firestick,ill make california blue

As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine

US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420

A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren't we?

"American Liberty", ladies and gentleman.

another great day of not being an american

Anyone who doesn't know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This skill is increasingly useful.

They'll sing praises of the "free market" all day, until it stops going their way.

So we've gone from banning books to banning apps.

could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

So I'd get less for stabbing someone.

oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights...

no, wait.

HELL YEAH I'M GONNA BREAK THE LAW

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.

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.

> be european
> deepseek gets banned
> "hardfork" it to a european hosted gitlab instance
> see openai and xai tears flowing again

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?

Guess you'll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed "Tienanmen Square Massacre" so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.

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

Lmao.

The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.

Hawley introduced the legislation, titled the Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act, on Wednesday of last year.

For people who see this, I think they meant "last month."

You're supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf

if i was american i'd download it rn

Cool! Do a flip next.

Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.

Ima download it even harder now

Yeah that TikTok ban is paying off already! We really saved the children this time!!! WAhooo!!!! \s \s \s
