    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?

      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.

    they want to jail people who use Deepseek

    but not people who use Tiktok or Xiaohongshu
    XHS has been out for weeks longer than Deepseek yet no action

    this means that Deepseek is way more important and Sam Altman or someone else has tremendous power over the US government compared to facebook/google executives?

    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.

    Good. They banned it here in Taiwan because it is a psyops tool even if you run the modal locally.

      Do you have a source on Taiwan banning the local model? I only see this:

      “Government agencies and critical infrastructure should not use DeepSeek, because it endangers national information security,” according to a statement released by Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs, per Radio Free Asia.

      “DeepSeek AI service is a Chinese product. Its operation involves cross-border transmission, and information leakage and other information security concerns.”

    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.”

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