    So rather than build off their successes we’re just gonna put up a blinder and hope they don’t completely leave us in the dust?

      You’re expecting coherent policy from the guy that shut the entire country down for a day, because he’s an idiot?

    Being open weights, if I, resident of Ijustmadeitupista n take it and make a very slight tweak, would it be OK for this rule?

    And, if my pal from China takes a US open model and tweaks it to criticize CCP, will it be banned?

    I honestly think politicians should think just a bit before trying to legislate things they clearly don’t understand.

      The way it’s written, it sounds like we could download it in the US, after the law was passed, for 180 days, and then do whatever we want with it. Unfortunately, after that point, the test of it being “developed” in China would probably be met for anything but a near-total rewrite.

      That’s why I consider that tagline, ‘The Land of the Free,’ to be the failed punchline of a bad joke now. It hasn’t meant anything since before Reagan took office at least.
