This is designed to stop businesses to use locally deployed models and be forced to deploy cloud services by any of the cocksuckers that sat frontlins in the inauguration.

Had to lookup the penalties since this document just pointed somewhere else:
(a) In General.--Section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1705) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 206. PENALTIES.
- (a) Unlawful Acts.--It shall be unlawful for a person to violate, attempt to violate, conspire to violate, or cause a violation of any license, order, regulation, or prohibition issued under this title.

Lol, protectionism for the administration's fellators.
- Please Mr. Tramp ban Chinese AIs! They caused our stock to fall!
- Suck my dick first.
- … I am important… I’m creating shareholder value…
- You’re improving. Don’t forget the orange spray when you finish.
What next? Outlaw chinese food?
We'll call it FREEDOM FOOD. Please, pass the FREEDOM beef chow fun, and the AMERICAN Fortune cookies, and BALD EAGLE AR-15 green tea.
bald eagle sheds a single tear 🦅 💧
Pretty sure fortune cookies are American anyway? Pretty sure they aren't chinese
ABSOLUTELY NO COMPETITION ALLOWED.
It is making gen Z lazy, they start to "lay flat"

This country is so cooked.
Always has been.
bang.
Josh Hawley is a complete waste.
LOL. Next they start burning books?
start?
Deleting CDC data is effectively the same thing.

How would they even attempt to implement this? Will the US end up with a Great Firewall like China has? Even if Chinese models are delisted from Hugging Face (since Hugging Face is a US company and has to follow US law), they could just be hosted elsewhere.
Most likely, they'll just enforce it against businesses using it since they're the cash cow as far as OpenAI, meta et all are concerned
As far as I know they still haven't forced all government agencies to use AI, which was talked about... So they also have a cash cow there.
Err, DOD is buying into OpenAI to manage the nuclear weapons.
...I have no words.
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?
If I have seen further, it is by ~~standing on the shoulders of giants~~ blinding everyone else LOL
PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORT AND EXPORT
They are just doing protectionism for Meta and OpenAI monopoly and shooting rest of the american economy in the foot by doing it. Anybody who isn't openAI one of these tech giants will have to use less effective american gen-AIs, that they can't self host for free for much less cost provided that they have servers. This Just to protect companies like openAI, that relied on the idea that people will have to come to them, so they can set the prize and still harvest their data and even insert all the right political narratives into the model, like what happened with chatgpt and palestine. All of this because few weeks ago good AI was supposed to super hard and scarce and now it isn't.
Can they even enforce this is the question? Will ISP's be forced to ban the deepseek site? Will they criminalize people self hosting deepseek on their home servers? Still that 180 days is just a call to download deepseek and modify it a little bit as it not to be chinese anymore and start hosting it as some alternative.
Bad chinaman used the free market to hurt american oligarchs so they got their regime whores in congress to restrict MY access to the good shit?!
Pathetic...
And frankly, it is the internet and model is open source. Get fucked daddy Sam.
Yeah, we should only be allowed to download their social media apps?
so basically more cenaorship because china, is it gonna have a long lasting effect this time?
