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

They'll sing praises of the "free market" all day, until it stops going their way.

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

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.

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."

You're supposed to fine companies, not jail people wtf

Cool! Do a flip next.

Might as well go all the way if you're doing stunts.

Yeah that TikTok ban is paying off already! We really saved the children this time!!! WAhooo!!!! \s \s \s

It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
