Its kinda funny how this bill is being introduced under the premise of "protecting children" but Girls Gone Wild is still allowed to operate after getting caught multiple times distributing child pornography

And by funny obviously I mean horrifying

That was the plan in 2020. Unfortunately, the vaccine didn't work properly and instead of turning people trans it just turned them into magnets.

Oopsies

It was too hard to get ahead as a straight white dude and I wanted some of that woke privilege

“snarfing" and "throbber" are two of my favorite niche tech terms

Electric cars and Huawei are two recent examples off the top of my head

I'm not here to discuss the validity of Tiananmen Square, that was just the example I keep seeing used.

Why does it matter if one source doesn't provide the official CIA story? You can look up how America views that event anywhere.

How is that censorship any worse than US tech companies blocking you from being able to say the word "Republican" in a negative context?

Also, you left out the most important part "without a little effort." Deepseek will happily tell you anything you want about Tiananmen Square from any perspective you ask it with a little creative prompting.

oh yeah, not denying that the prototype will be more expensive and resource intensive than following versions, but the whole "US overspends on novel technology, China blows that technology out of the water and shows this tech is both accessible and affordable, US bans Chinese product because American companies don't want to compete" shtick is just getting old

And what exactly is the average person sending to China that's such a threat to US global Imperialism?

Sure, ban it on government devices or whatever you want to do, but why should civilians be punished because the government can't embezzle as efficiently?

I just find it amusing how when proprietary data/company secrets/whatever are being sent to openAI it's a matter of "that was irresponsible don't let it happen again" but some guy in Kentucky isn't able to get a detailed description of Tiananmen Square from the US perspective without a little effort and it's the end of national security as we know it.

Same with the tiktok ban. How many classified military secrets do we think some regular dude in a trailer in Alabama really has on his phone?

"National Security" in the US is literally just code for rich people's bank accounts at this point.

Of course it's a national security threat, it's just more proof that the US economy is just a giant ponzi scheme.

If China can do it better on a budget of $6m in 18 months with low end equipment, then why does it take an American company 10 years, half a trillion dollars, and the entire nation's supply of high-end graphics cards?

Lmao of course the propaganda mouthpiece is gonna tell everyone their focus is truth

The two biggest implications in my opinion are firstly that it shows that this "trillion dollar" industry is a massively overvalued bubble waiting to pop. What takes an American company several hundred billion dollars and a decade of research takes deepseek less than $6M and 18 months. To drive the nail in the coffin even further they recently announced Janus Pro which is an image generator rivaling Dall-E and Stable Diffusion. All this by an embargoed company that didn't even exist when the first editions of these chatbots and and image generators were released.

Second, there's the "national security" implications since the US wants to aggressively militarize AI tech and China just demonstrated that they're already caught up in a fraction of the time for a fraction on the cost so there's no way they don't surpass US capabilities within the next year, if they haven't already.

I think this may be major turning point for global alliances and there will be massive realignment away from the US and toward China on the geopolitical stage. The US and its oligarchy have been called out on their bullshit essentially.
