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.

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.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 16 points 21 hours ago

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.

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

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?

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."

As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.

[–] ViaFedi@lemmy.ml 4 points 21 hours ago

It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything

Anyone who doesn't know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This skill is increasingly useful.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

Genuinely great comm and resource.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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?

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

No a model is a model now if you are talking a chat bot or ai app yeah you need the data and that data changes all the time but if I have the model I can supply my own and get simalr results to their model if the data I need is the same. The code is right here https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3?tab=readme-ov-file I can get the models from https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-Base and train them further and redistub that model legally. Per

Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION

  1. Distribution and Redistribution. You may host for Third Party remote access purposes (e.g. software-as-a-service), reproduce and distribute copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the following conditions: a. Use-based restrictions as referenced in paragraph 5 MUST be included as an enforceable provision by You in any type of legal agreement (e.g. a license) governing the use and/or distribution of the Model or Derivatives of the Model, and You shall give notice to subsequent users You Distribute to, that the Model or Derivatives of the Model are subject to paragraph 5. This provision does not apply to the use of Complementary Material. b. You must give any Third Party recipients of the Model or Derivatives of the Model a copy of this License; c. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files; d. You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Model, Derivatives of the Model. e. You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions - respecting paragraph 4.a. – for use, reproduction, or Distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivatives of the Model as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and Distribution of the Model otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License.

Use-based restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Attachment A are considered Use-based restrictions. Therefore You cannot use the Model and the Derivatives of the Model for the specified restricted uses. You may use the Model subject to this License, including only for lawful purposes and in accordance with the License. Use may include creating any content with, finetuning, updating, running, training, evaluating and/or reparametrizing the Model. You shall require all of Your users who use the Model or a Derivative of the Model to comply with the terms of this paragraph (paragraph 5).

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 points 9 hours ago

Okay let's talk terminology

I meant the useable application as a for example chat bot.

The model itself is useful as far as it enables me to understand the underlying logic of the whole thing right? But without the data and I guess a training period with it I can't use it if I understood it correctly.

If I am right with the above this wouldnt make it useful as in I can reproduce it as a functioning application and I wouldn't call that opensourve in my understanding of the word.
