BRB, going to jail because I accepted a PR bugfix to my "AI" project from an e-mail domain that was actually someone in China.
Look, there's no love lost between me and the PRC, I used to live in Hong Kong... but this here is a bad-faith bill from a bad legislator, Josh Hawley. Among other things, I remember he was encouraging the January 6th attackers before scampering away in a panic when they actually smashed into the building.
Meta-comment: Please, don't link to Twitter unless the first chunk is everything people need to see. All others are locked away unless you register.
It’s an idiotic bill but it will never make it to a vote. There would be disastrous economic consequences. China doesn’t even have a similar law for American open source models.

Haven't read it yet, will come back with an opinion after I see what all the fuss is about.

Edit: Read the bill. Pretty short.
Reminds me of the fight against cryptographic systems. Kinda hilarious imo.
IANAL
