SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025’’.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORT AND EXPORT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
(a) PROHIBITION ON IMPORTATION.—On and after the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the importation into the United States of artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence technology or intellectual property developed or produced in the People’s Republic of China is prohibited.
Currently, China has the best open source models in text, video and music generation.
The Land of the free sure likes taking away freedoms and banning stuff
That’s why I consider that tagline, ‘The Land of the Free,’ to be the failed punchline of a bad joke now. It hasn’t meant anything since before Reagan took office at least.
That doesn’t sound like a free market to me.
These fucking clowns just refuse to learn about how technology works. Fucking morons.
The generation that can’t figure out their TV remote is attempting to legislate on cutting edge technology. Fucking series of tubes all over again. It never stopped though really.
The series of tubes is actually a better analogy than what this Bill imagines the internet to be.
This bill is likely sponsored by Sam Altman himself

I’m not even in to this shit and I’m going to download it right now because fuck those assholes.
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.

Very simple with ollama
Technically this isn’t the case. These are Deepseek distilled with Qwen and Llama depending on the weight, so they are no longer Deepseek.
@[email protected] this is the official, extremely large, one. https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1
Something about https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 , or at least that’s the model that everyone’s been talking about recently. It looks like it’d be half a terabyte to clone the entire repo though, and I don’t know how to use it either …
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages, as in going back to when BBSes were popular.
Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban? (this part was originally a reply but I moved it to the main post)
They’re american, they’d just pick one rich guy to ‘own’ all Foss projects and make it freenium within a year
Good luck with that too, especially as GPL3 has a clause specifically forbidding tivoization built into it.
The type of thing RH is doing with the RHEL EULA in order to attempt to circumvent GPL2 protections? Yeah, that wouldn’t fly under GPL3.
Til a judge ‘interprets’ that as being specifically about a company named TiVo or invalidates it in the supreme court.
Yk back in my day it was even unthinkable to have a president decide your gender for you, the precedent already being created is insane.
Capitalism truly thrives on competition and innovation
Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.
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.
Rip iPhone.
China : Discovers Anti-gravity
USA : Law preventing study of anti-gravityThis would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.
ngl them not wanting me to download it makes me want to download it more than anything else, and I’m usually against ai

Torrenting is going to be wild in 2025.
At least until they decide to Make it illegal for ISPs to allow you to torrent.
And yes I hear all the people saying can’t, won’t, laws, to which I say those things are all tenuous at best at the moment.
Doesn’t a VPN already circumvent this? ISPs already send out copyright violation emails if you torrent the wrong thing, but not if you do it through a VPN.
From a Sony legal perspective, yes.
When Big Brother decides to force ISPs to tamp it down, they’ll do stuff like set limits on unidentifiable traffic, set caps just above reasonable streaming levels.
When there’s no freedom of speech, no right to be innocent, you can tell who’s torrenting, especially if you don’t have to be 100% right to kick them off your network.
How about forming end to end encrypted wireless ad hoc networks?
Meshes are powerful. They’re great at the community level, but scale is an issue.
With the low price of very large thumb drives these days, sneakernet would work.
It would be interesting to see something DHT like IPFS overhauled to work on intermittent mesh networks.
Maybe something in between IPFS and SoulSeek. You keep a list of what you want, when someone comes on line with it you get it, or perhaps we all set aside a couple hundred gigs to fulfill requests.
One word: pathetic.
8 words: hilary clinton ai voice talking about ball sucking
Alright, now I’m hooked
The benefit of being an early adopter is my folder full of Donald Trump/Congressional Republicans suckin’ and fuckin’ before all of the fun models got taken down from easy access.
LOL. Next they start burning books?
Deleting CDC data is effectively the same thing.
