    This is astounding.

    I mean, not the Deepseek or jailing stuff. I mean a Senator actually proposing a law. I thought the way our government worked was, the annoying orange declares a vague uncited threat to be bad, and signs an executive order on it!

    That’s awesome! I didn’t know you could download an LLM and run it locally! That’s what I’m really interested in is something that’s on my side and not a conduit to Google, MS or other.

    I’m so glad Hawley proposed this bill or I wouldn’t have known that deepseek was open source and downloadable! I’ll have to go look for a download.

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

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