#72They say:
> Fraud, cybercrime, CSAM, harassment, nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, discrimination, and sabotage should stay illegal and be enforced seriously.
The "enforced seriously" part is how they will get you. Don't worry, there won't be a blanket ban on local models. Instead, any model that is "certified CSAM-free" or whatever will be perfectly legal. Meaning that it's impossible to prompt it into producing underage smut in any shape or form.
Of course, any model running locally can be easily jailbroken via prefills, and so in practice it will be a blanket ban. But good luck politically standing up against something that is explicitly worded as an anti-CSAM / anti-terrorist measure and nominally constrained to those areas.

#73I rather like the right of no intelligence at this point.

Anything using the word "intelligence", unqualified, when referring to AI, is pure propaganda.

The EU did not ban 8K TV’s, this is a very misleading spin. They put energy consumption restrictions some TV’s violated years ago. Manufacturers have already responded with more efficient TV’s, which actually means the restriction is working as intended towards a good outcome IMO. You can absolutely buy 8K TV’s in Europe. No EU country has banned air conditioning either. Where are you getting this information?

A ban on desktop PC components over a certain power threshold (300W) or PSUs would definitely affect local AI, and Europe is not a big enough market, nor has it's own internal supply chains to offer alternatives.
This has been done in the EU/UK in the past (hoovers/vacuum cleaners) so the mechanism exists.
I'm in the UK and support your direction.

#76Pardon 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.

The UK did not ban AC. Don't read the Telegraph, and if you do, don't trust it. Source: I live there
AC is not banned in Germany, but it is unGerman to have one.
I feel like that changed in the last 2-4 years, coinciding with the advent of heatpumps in Germany.

#79Now the investors try to hold the bubble together by regulatory capture. They must really fear the worst. A bailout is going to cost their puppet in the White House even the last supporters in his base.

#80In 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?
you can also freely download CP on your private property PC
but I wouldn't advise it
