    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.

    A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren’t we?

    Good thing I’ve just accepted a faculty position outside the US.

    I’ll get to move to a country that doesn’t persecute academics and I think I’m just beating the crowds on the way out.

      Where are you going? I’m currently on last yr of PhD and thinking of leaving, but I don’t know if I should abandon the PhD to leave or not. I’d like to finish it, at least do it remotely, but chances of finding work immediately after PhD are slim.

        The position is in Germany. It might be out of the frying pan and into the fire given Germany’s right wing rise, but that’s happening across the western nations and we’re all in trouble.

        I don’t have a ton of advice for you. I defended over 10 years ago, so I’m moving straight into a tenured/permanent position as senior faculty. For an ABD, I’m not sure what the landscape looks like these days.

        If you want to make the move, start talking to people. Reach out to people publishing in your field and talk shop. Collaborate with them, talk about the future, and be willing to take a postdoc (or german system W1) position. It’s more ramen and a small bedroom, but it’s one where there’s healthcare and civil rights.

        Academia (and most professions) are all about networks. Talk with people, collaborate, and grow that network. Something will come along.

    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.

    Hawley introduced the legislation, titled the Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act, on Wednesday of last year.

    For people who see this, I think they meant “last month.”

    Didn’t I just read an article about Apple wanting to use it. It’s open source it can be forked and be American tomorrow. No matter how much Openai crys. This just shows the true lack of any knowledge on the subject. I’m not a fan of the Chinese government as much of the next guy. But the information is out there.

      Honest Questions Can a model be open source? Dont we need the data it was trained on to truly be able to reproduce, understand and modify it?

        sure a model could theoretically be open source, but in this case that source would be 1) the software to train the model and 2) the training data, and good fucking luck getting either of those honestly.

        the AI sphere has co-opted the term “open source” because it sounds nice, what they actually mean is just “a free copy”, a free copy of deepseek is available for download.

        They seem to be able to fiddle a lot with the models, but in the end calling it open source is just blatantly not fucking true.

        No a model is a model now if you are talking a chat bot or ai app yeah you need the data and that data changes all the time but if I have the model I can supply my own and get simalr results to their model if the data I need is the same. The code is right here https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3?tab=readme-ov-file I can get the models from https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-Base and train them further and redistub that model legally. Per

        Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION

        1. Distribution and Redistribution. You may host for Third Party remote access purposes (e.g. software-as-a-service), reproduce and distribute copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the following conditions: a.

          Okay let’s talk terminology

          I meant the useable application as a for example chat bot.

          The model itself is useful as far as it enables me to understand the underlying logic of the whole thing right? But without the data and I guess a training period with it I can’t use it if I understood it correctly.

          If I am right with the above this wouldnt make it useful as in I can reproduce it as a functioning application and I wouldn’t call that opensourve in my understanding of the word.
