    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

    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.

      Elon Musk was just posting a factory of prisoners all working for cents on the dollar saying that America needs more of that.

      Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it’s common to all political parties of the world.

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

    You wouldn’t download a car and then perform all the necessary lost wax casting, pressing, punching, machining, painting etc etc. Would you?

    No!

    You would download a finished car!
