On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Surprise surprise, those given access to the levers of power in the US are almost never pro-worker in reality.

According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

Gulag ain't "jail"

Anybody have a mirror link? It'd be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.

I got it from ollama. You can select what version you want and how many parameters the model has. There are probably a few other mirror sites, but for now I think you could try out with this, until the law is passed and comes into effect.

Download it now, then. Before it becomesa law.

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.

Well, we do have ex post facto protection for the moment, soooo...

Yeah I have it on every device I own now.

No reason to use it ever, but it's there. Like, not installed, but there.

Now, American you don't have right to say China is bad because it do censorship.

Ex post facto much?
