Currently, China has the best open source models in text, video and music generation.
They are afraid. Very afraid. Good.
Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.
Ah yes, the “free market” in action.
We are rotten to the core.
The paste does not go back in the tube…
I thought software and thus code was protected as free speech?
The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights…
… like the right of shareholders to make money.
Just try to stop me. Or anyone for that matter.
The “does it connect to the wifi” mfers came up with this one I’m sure.
This is why we gotta ban TikTok!!! \s
Seriously tho it’s a bummer to see how many people here promote all this horseshit.
One word: pathetic.
8 words: hilary clinton ai voice talking about ball sucking
Alright, now I’m hooked
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 don’t even like ai but this just makes me want to download Deepseek as much as I can
Yes, that will show them for sure
US is getting very desperate

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.
I’m surprised usually Hawley is pro running
This is running. It’s running away from competition.
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.
It is a single proposal but maybe anybody with an extra terabyte sitting around might want to hold on to a copy
I already have every version downloaded on my nas, more cause I hate redownloading things and am a pack rat.
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?
the law isn’t meant to bar you from downloading it. it’s meant to prevent use in a business setting
