US Bill proposed to jail people who download Deepseek

I'll download it twice
Good to see some socialist policy's making their way to the US..
Oh wait...
Print the code in a book and mail it.
Surely, they cannot ban books... right? Right?

Your tax dollars at work!

Shouldn't Google and Apple go to jail for distribution?
I'd get LM studio or Ollama, and download R1 your system can handle quick. If you're on Linux, Alpaca is on Flathub, you can get it and it'll download models and run them for you, including Deepseek R1.
