    Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a “straightforward solution”, but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.

    So we’ve gone from banning books to banning apps.

    could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.

    So I’d get less for stabbing someone.

        Yes in this context it means “pathetic”. For people who were thinking I mean the other meaning of joke.

    Lmao.

    The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.

    Guess you’ll have to jail all the chuds and libs who typed “Tienanmen Square Massacre” so they could post the screenshot on Reddit as some kind of gotcha on China.

        Sliding right and left. It’s becoming more polarized as Empire decays.

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

    Anyone who doesn’t know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    This skill is increasingly useful.
