not back-dated so download away fellas (not sure if a law can apply on acts before it was a law)

In principle: no. But Americans no longer have any principles (or never did in the first place)

Pretty sure that requires open-ai to be jailed

You need to think in Republican. Corporations are people up to the moment they commit a crime, at which point they are not people.

These people will keep pushing and pushing. They know this is ridiculous, but if they flood the public with this bullshit, eventually the overton window shifts and people get brainwashed into thinking cult shit like this is good.

The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China's development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

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

Made the switch to DeepSeek fo’ life.

Shouldn't Google and Apple go to jail for distribution?

[–] Imgonnatrythis 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Neither Tim Apple nor Ted Google would make it a day in jail.

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.

You wouldn't download a LLM

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