Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”

data-harvesting

???

It runs offline... using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data...

It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true

Good to see some socialist policy's making their way to the US..

Oh wait...

People like this should not be a government representative. But I guess that's the trend lately

I'll download it twice

I wasn't thinking of downloading an AI onto my low tier computer until now.

Sooner or later we're gonna have to bypass the Great Firewall of America by VPNing into China

Print the code in a book and mail it.

Surely, they cannot ban books... right? Right?

Edit: Wait wait wait... the Comstock Act says mail cannot be used for anything that can be used for abortion. And a AI can theoretically be used to get instructions for abortion. BOOM, it's banned! 👀

Pretty sure that requires open-ai to be jailed

Sounds like they haven't got better things to do if they're drafting these kinds of bills

So I guess it's free speech as long as you agree with the goverment's speech. If not, then it's a crime.

Your tax dollars at work!

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

More protectionist bullshit that won't help anyone.

Wasn't that interested before but it does give it a certain allure now to be sure.

Made the switch to DeepSeek fo’ life.
