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

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

Good to see some socialist policy’s making their way to the US…
Oh wait…

Pretty sure that requires open-ai to be jailed

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

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

You wouldn’t download a LLM

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

Neither Tim Apple nor Ted Google would make it a day in jail.
puppy@lemmy.world 1 day 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.
