oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights…
no, wait.
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.”
Man I always thought Hawley would be a good president for the US.
Now I’m not so sure anymore.
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?
Prof Richard Wolff has a great analysis of things: https://youtu.be/9u4A0D_Wc9c
US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420
@HiddenLayer555 yeah… it’s exactly the same, isn’t it? We can’t even talk about it…
In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
HELL YEAH I’M GONNA BREAK THE LAW
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.
We need some Firefly emotes on Hexbear. Especially the combination of the USA-Chinese flag.
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 actionthis 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.
Perplexity already runs a US copy of it.
Exactly
Apple wants to use it in China
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.
As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.
Unless the goal is actually sabotage
Of the US’s own capabilities?
Yes. You know the history of the political situation we’re in and how we got here, right? The foreign entities that are salivating at the idea of a weakened America? The foreign entities buying our elected officials?
The Nazis were also extremely incompetent when I came to stuff like this. Hitler had generals scrambling behind his back to produce their best weapon, but he kept finding out and making them stop along with tons of other micromanaging.
Trump is an idiot and so is musk. Most business people are short sighted and fascists even more. They also may be high on their own farts and think the system won’t collapse with them “in charge” like a toddler left in s room full of candles and napalm.
Not saying that foreign powers aren’t loving this, but they don’t have to have control over it.
Americans try not to scapegoat foreigners for their own domestic problems challenge (impossible).
Just keep your head buried in the sand.
Here you are, blaming the decline of the US empire on evil scheming foreigners and y’all fucking wonder how oh how fascism is so popular lmao
I’m not the one making up jingoist conspiracy theories to avoid having to confront the real problems
Just keep believing increasingly unhinged BlueAnon conspiracy theories. The US is just a smol bean fragile liberal democracy being mind controlled by the bad, mean, no good authoritarian foreign masterminds. Previously.
Jesus Christ you people sure are stupid
TBH, I think that’s giving too much credit to those in charge. They don’t want to be China’s or Russia’s puppet. They imagine themselves the puppeteers (whether that’s true or not).
This makes more sense than these parasites submitting to a foreign adversary lol
That’s right, be sure to check for communists under your bed everyone!
USSR leadership did… And some of them become the new global oligarch elite. Others got dead.
Current clonw posse could be trying to do something similar, thinking they can do better for themselves
“American Liberty”, ladies and gentleman.
another great day of not being an american
The whole globe is sliding right. It’s not a great day for anyone.
true but they will not stop me. even if i was american, i’d download deepseek, idc about anything at this point
Yeah, thanks to steve bannon, elon musk and facebook
