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.
lemmy.world never fails lmao
lmao
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?
US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420
In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
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

This skill is increasingly useful.
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).

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
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
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.
"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.
Yeah, thanks to steve bannon, elon musk and facebook
true but they will not stop me. even if i was american, i'd download deepseek, idc about anything at this point
Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a "straightforward solution", but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.

Who is gonna tell this person the truth?
America is a democratic country ?

Clown Country
if i was american i'd download it rn
It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
Now, American you don't have right to say China is bad because it do censorship.
On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?
Download it now, then. Before it becomesa law.
