      Can someone explain briefly what I need to download that might not be available if this comes to pass? Like I did some searching and I saw stuff about Ollama but it wasn’t completely clear if that would be affected by this.

    Ah, the supporters of the free market strike again. No competition allowed, Sam Altman and his American billionaire peers are entitled to all the money.

    It is much worse. I hope I am reading it wrong, but:

    The term ‘‘technology’’ […] includes […] any semiconductor, circuit board, operating system, graphics processing unit, central processing unit, tenor processing unit, field-programmable gate array, random access memory, hard drive, solid-state drive, dataflow architecture, or cloud-computing service, that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, completed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence […] and any other hardware, software, equipment, device, component, robotic computer, processor, network […] that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence.

    This would mean that importing and exporting literally any piece of IT equipment, from a Ubuntu installer to a RAM chip, is illegal. Good luck & have fun.

      It’s good old “everything is now illegal” law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the young dictatorship handbook

    So you can’t download them, you should run them directly on tencent cloud or something? Smart…

      The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights…

      … like the right of shareholders to make money.

    Well, now I’m downloading them all and backing them up.

    And the ones I can, I’m going to fork on GitHub just so they have my name.

    Bring it on.

      Don’t fork them, because when a project get taken down, so do all the forks. Download it, and manually create a new repo.
