As well as banning research. Absurd overreach of government and it will accomplish the opposite of what it wants.
Unless the goal is actually sabotage
Of the US’s own capabilities?
Yes. You know the history of the political situation we’re in and how we got here, right? The foreign entities that are salivating at the idea of a weakened America? The foreign entities buying our elected officials?
Americans try not to scapegoat foreigners for their own domestic problems challenge (impossible).
Just keep your head buried in the sand.
Here you are, blaming the decline of the US empire on evil scheming foreigners and y’all fucking wonder how oh how fascism is so popular lmao
I’m not the one making up jingoist conspiracy theories to avoid having to confront the real problems
Just keep believing increasingly unhinged BlueAnon conspiracy theories. The US is just a smol bean fragile liberal democracy being mind controlled by the bad, mean, no good authoritarian foreign masterminds. Previously.
Jesus Christ you people sure are stupid
That’s right, be sure to check for communists under your bed everyone!
That’s not what’s happening. The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
It’s definitely not because it’s a competitor to Grok (x.ai) who just spend $6 billon on GPUs or anything
In the United States you get sent to prison if you use the wrong slop machine
US doing exactly what they accuse Communist China of doing exhibit 420
“American Liberty”, ladies and gentleman.
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?
Prof Richard Wolff has a great analysis of things: https://youtu.be/9u4A0D_Wc9c

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.
oh, these third world dictatorships with no consideration for individual freedoms and human rights…
no, wait.
Anyone who doesn’t know how to (safely!) pirate books, articles, films, games and software, please read, use and share the resources over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This skill is increasingly useful.
Genuinely great comm and resource.
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.
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.
> be european > deepseek gets banned > "hardfork" it to a european hosted gitlab instance > see openai and xai tears flowing againGood 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.
Thank you. I have a family to worry about so can’t survive on ramen alone… But I’ll look for other countries postdoc and such. I’m a bit scared of moving somewhere I don’t know the local language now because of how things are going in the US, if something like this happens and I can’t understand their language I’d not even know the dangers.
My university in Germany operates entirely in English. The academic world is very international so it often falls back to English to support the faculty and students. Issues in the community will also be run through the university news routes, so while I’ve been learning German, I’ll also have a big resource with my work community.
There’s a few places to check for positions. I interviewed in Ireland and Scotland as well (didn’t get the jobs). There’s also Australia and new Zealand hiding out there. Or Canada. Hell, Mexico has a great university system you could look into.
Your PhD does open new doors. It’s by no means a guarantee of a faculty spot, but it’s valued so you can leverage it.
Lmao.
The theory that the builders of Empire were the ones that understood it, and the inheritors of Empire are true believers in the false justification the builders gave and thus defeat itself when given the reigns is coming more and more true.
You’re supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf
