Those people seem to have installed multiple outdoor units, there are limited numbers you are allowed to do without getting planning permission (two for detached housing, one for semi, nothing by default for flats) because these things have impacts on those nearby. The telegraph is an awful rag, and should be read assuming the facts are probably true as written but interpreted in an incredibly biased way.
So you are only allowed to use goverment approved models for local LLM, of reasonable size (lets say 8GB vram). And gov can inspect your local data any time. But that is not a ban on local LLMs!

#122You cannot ban local AI without banning local software which is obviously impossible.
Possession of software, even software that can be used for illegal purpose such as RATs and other viruses isn't illegal.

#123In the US at least, repealing a law takes the same number of votes as passing a new one. I don't follow the purpose of this, unless it's to pass a constitutional amendment or something. Or maybe just to get clicks on a website. And I already have the right to local intelligence, because my GPUs are my private property, and if someone freely releases a beerware model then I can freely download it. What am I missing?

#124This is useless because AI has nothing to do with intelligence. It's just software. You cannot ban local AI without banning local software which is obviously impossible. Possession of software, even software that can be used for illegal purpose such as RATs and other viruses isn't illegal.

#125Pardon me, so they'll hunt down huggingface, ollama and china? I don't quite understand? What about the millenia of companies that provide apis for local llms and private companies that use local llms for privacy reasons? I don't even understand how you'd execute such a ruleset.

Dario and friends are fear mongering local models to get them banned.
“are”? Source? I've seen an absolute flood of “BREAKING:” claims online recently which are quotes from 3 years ago where all of their context is removed, or that quotes from 3 years ago are “because of GLM 5.2”, etc. https://www.techpolicy.press/transcript-senate-hearing-on-pr...

But the Mythos-class cyber capabilities may just be available for anyone to download."

#129Laws restricting the use of local AI/LLMs are not going to happen, no matter how much Anthropic might want it. All the major OEMs are now counting on local LLMs to take off. Just look at the OEM support for the upcoming Nvidia RTX Spark platform: Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI. All the big names in the industry will have, by the end of this year, Nvidia-powered machines made specifically for local LLM use.

#130Eh, let em. If the US economy wants to self-sabotage, let them. Its a dying empire, lets its fall be hastened. I'm ready for china to fill the US vacuum. At least china controls it's billionairs (see jack ma saga) rather than the inverse.
This feels short-sighted unless you are ethnically han?
