People like this should not be a government representative. But I guess that’s the trend lately

Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Yup. Downloaded 7b, 32b, and 70b varieties this afternoon. Entirely out of spite.
T156@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Since those smaller models are technically fine-tunes of Meta/Facebook’s LLAMA, using Deepseek’s outputs, I wonder if they would be covered by the bill at all.
ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I literally just did the same

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

I’m not sure they realize.

You wouldn’t download a LLM
WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nope. I certainly wouldn’t.

Shouldn’t Google and Apple go to jail for distribution?
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Neither Tim Apple nor Ted Google would make it a day in jail.
puppy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tim is gay (fr), so I’d say he’d have an (comparatively) easier time than a straight man.
Cantaloupe877@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d get LM studio or Ollama, and download R1 your system can handle quick.
EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m gonna download it even harder.

Print the code in a book and mail it.
Surely, they cannot ban books… right? Right?

I wasn’t thinking of downloading an AI onto my low tire computer until now.
atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that’s about to get deepseek just because they’re proposing this dumb ass shit. I don’t even use Gen AI.

Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”
data-harvesting ???
It runs offline… using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data…
It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true
pixxelkick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
sent American technology stocks plummeting
Oh yeah, thats what did it, totally

So I guess it’s free speech as long as you agree with the goverment’s speech. If not, then it’s a crime.

free speech is when racial slurs obviously

Elon Musk was just posting a factory of prisoners all working for cents on the dollar saying that America needs more of that.
ilmagico@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it’s common to all political parties of the world.
JOMusic@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
It’s only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Eh, it’s just virtue signaling nonsense. It’s not going anywhere.

hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 year ago
Wow, bold choice to ban the import of technology and knowledge. Usually governments are worried to export technology so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Btw, how is the Nvidia stock price doing?
Petter1@lemm.ee 1 year ago
To be fair, this is common practice. Countries do this all the time to protect their economies. Mostly known in the West is China which banned many US services.
Of course, security of the data of the citizens is also a factor. You don’t want foreign countries use this data to interfere in any way.
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 year ago
Honestly, I don't think this is common practice in non-oppressive countries. I mean sure, this happens in North Korea, Iran, China... But I'm relatively free to consume what I want with a few minor exceptions. For example we don't import food that isn't food-safe by our standards. Regardless if it's common practice to eat it in other places. Also food may not be able to enter the country due to laws on animal cruelty. Similar things apply to electronic devices that aren't up to code. And some select few things are banned altogether and you can't have them and neither can someone import them. Other than that, regulations aren't super strict. I can use all American social media platforms despite them stealing my personal data and violating European privacy laws regularly, can use Russian or Chinese websites... I think I live in a free country.
And mind that this isn't about the service that collects your data and gives it to the Chinese government. This is about downloading the model file and using it all by yourself. So no data gets transferred to a foreign country. And it's not because people could get harmed or anything. This is just because the vice president doesn't want it personally. Like in some dictatorship. Otherwise they would have banned transferring data into foreign countries, if that's what ut's about. But they didn't do that.
forrgott@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Right? Like, seriously, we all know somebody is just butthurt because their stock options tanked.
Oh, wait, I’m sorry! That was very unpatriotic of me, wasn’t it? I mean, we all know that winning an election guarantees being heavily rewarded with insider trading, right? It’s not like they’re there to represent constituents or anything; I mean, doesn’t everyone know we’re a republic, not a democracy?!
Sigh…
