now i gotta download something i don’t even wanna download.
Yup. Downloaded 7b, 32b, and 70b varieties this afternoon. Entirely out of spite.
Since those smaller models are technically fine-tunes of Meta/Facebook’s LLAMA, using Deepseek’s outputs, I wonder if they would be covered by the bill at all.
I literally just did the same
Fascist regime and power/police abuse has started.
P.S.: It seems like the US is becoming similar to Russia, kleptocratic country and organised crime in government.
Every step unchallenged is an invitation to do more.
Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”
data-harvesting
???
It runs offline… using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data…
It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true
sent American technology stocks plummeting
Oh yeah, thats what did it, totally
This is astounding.
I mean, not the Deepseek or jailing stuff. I mean a Senator actually proposing a law. I thought the way our government worked was, the annoying orange declares a vague uncited threat to be bad, and signs an executive order on it!
No, we also allow mega corporations to submit bills that get rubber stamped by a rep somewhere. I don’t think a corporation would be so audacious as to submit this, so it’s a rare case of original content.
I’m gonna download it even harder.
See you hell evildoer!
That’s awesome! I didn’t know you could download an LLM and run it locally! That’s what I’m really interested in is something that’s on my side and not a conduit to Google, MS or other.
I’m so glad Hawley proposed this bill or I wouldn’t have known that deepseek was open source and downloadable! I’ll have to go look for a download.
Ollama makes it pretty easy, and there are other runners as well. Good luck!
How to download/run a uncensored LLM locally:
Download the model and run locally is the most secure and privacy friendly way to use it.
It’s absurd how little they know about what they are doing.
And that’s exactly why they want to stop it
Nah, Congress (esp the Senate) is a bunch of old people yelling at clouds, and sometimes they yell the same thing. Don’t give them too much credit.

I doubt they understand local vs server distinction.
“Server is when we ask Amazon to build a backdoor, local is when we ask Microsoft”
It’s easy to run a distilled version of the R1 model locally. It’s very difficult to run the full version. Min $6k to get 7 tokens per second.
I hear its easy, but I’ve had no luck at all on the most distilled models (for prelim testing), and am wondering how things have broken so badly.
I wasn’t gonna, but now I gotta…
You laugh, but stay safe
Land of the free
Yes the ban on TikTok is working! We’re getting more and more freer!!! The kids will be saved!!! \s \s \s
“Victory for free speech (as long as it means only we get to talk”)! /s
I wasn’t thinking of downloading an AI onto my low tier computer until now.
I’ve got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that’s about to get deepseek just because they’re proposing this dumb ass shit. I don’t even use Gen AI.
Finally affordable housing!
same lmao
God, I hate Hawley. He’s an embarrassment to my state.
He doesn’t even live in Missouri.
People like this should not be a government representative. But I guess that’s the trend lately
Because China “leveraged” US technology 20 years ago, US politicians bring it up as a current shittalking point still. Deepseek, being open source, is opportunity for Americans to gain technology transfer from China, without “stealing”.
There is a desperation to protect US AI, mostly so that AI companies are indebted into serving the empire, and maybe the GOP,
Something AI is extremely capable today is deciding who to ban on reddit, or at the individual voter level, decide who should be turned away from elections. Recent US election had record voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted. Previously, black was a sufficient suppression incentive. AI makes it easy to target individuals or other factors. Musk, being praised for understanding “election machines”, now with access to SS numbers and an ability to link to voters or views on Israel/genocide, is a super power that ensures being king maker in perpetuity.
Was this Google translated from Chinese? That was chunky to read.
