In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
So we've gone from banning books to banning apps.
could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
So I'd get less for stabbing someone.
And you wouldn't believe how less it gave you for stealing millions from a pension fund.
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?
Americans try not to scapegoat foreigners for their own domestic problems challenge (impossible).
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.
Yeah jail everyone doing piracy too (they also might do that lmao) im reporting every republican I know using an illegal firestick,ill make california blue
US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420

> see openai and xai tears flowing again
oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights...
no, wait.
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?
Prof Richard Wolff has a great analysis of things: https://youtu.be/9u4A0D_Wc9c
Guess you'll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed "Tienanmen Square Massacre" so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.
"American Liberty", ladies and gentleman.

This skill is increasingly useful.
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.
Lmao.
The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
another great day of not being an american
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."
You're supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf
Cool! Do a flip next.
Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.
Yeah that TikTok ban is paying off already! We really saved the children this time!!! WAhooo!!!! \s \s \s
Ima download it even harder now
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.
Anybody have a mirror link? It'd be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.
America is a democratic country ?
what a joke.
Clown Country
It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
