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.

Cool! Do a flip next.
Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.
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.
Yeah that TikTok ban is paying off already! We really saved the children this time!!! WAhooo!!!! \s \s \s
This almost certainly will go nowhere.
You're supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf
oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights...
no, wait.
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."
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.
Honest Questions Can a model be open source? Dont we need the data it was trained on to truly be able to reproduce, understand and modify it?
Perplexity already runs a US copy of it.
Exactly
Apple wants to use it in China

This skill is increasingly useful.
Genuinely great comm and resource.
As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.
It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything
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?
That's not what's happening. 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.
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).

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.
Where are you going? I'm currently on last yr of PhD and thinking of leaving, but I don't know if I should abandon the PhD to leave or not. I'd like to finish it, at least do it remotely, but chances of finding work immediately after PhD are slim.
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.
Sliding right and left. It's becoming more polarized as Empire decays.
Yeah, thanks to steve bannon, elon musk and facebook
