  Saw this coming as soon as Microsoft immediately wanted to investigate.

  Deepseek is going to be a Chinese military complex on the books shortly.

  Well I guess that means its time to download it even though I don’t know what I’ll do with it.

  not back-dated so download away fellas (not sure if a law can apply on acts before it was a law)

    Ex post facto laws are expressly prohibited in Article I, so they can’t pass a law criminalizing downloads from before the law was passed.

    They can, however, criminalize possessing a copy of DeepSeek. In that case you’d be legally required to delete it after the law passed.

      They also can’t amend the constitution via executive order or report US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

      Not sure about the laws wording, but if it is open source just create a branch with a different name.

    In principle: no. But Americans no longer have any principles (or never did in the first place)

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

  These people will keep pushing and pushing. They know this is ridiculous, but if they flood the public with this bullshit, eventually the overton window shifts and people get brainwashed into thinking cult shit like this is good.

  The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China’s development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

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

  You wouldn’t download a LLM

    Nope. I certainly wouldn’t.

  Shouldn’t Google and Apple go to jail for distribution?

  source

  • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Neither Tim Apple nor Ted Google would make it a day in jail.

    • puppy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Tim is gay (fr), so I’d say he’d have an (comparatively) easier time than a straight man.

  And they wonder why China is eating the US’s lunch on the world stage in terms of influence and technology.
