Absolutely.

FDA only saves money until the next foodborne contamination etc. etc.

We’ve already had an e. coli outbreak that the FDA tried to keep quiet.

Which is what Putin has tasked him with.

McCarthy is a moron & part of the reason we have Trump. Let him die in obscurity, the sooner the better.

Same. I have no interest in corporate social media.

If it is environmental pollution, the current administration would never admit it anyhow.

Way too many rural (i.e. well water) cases for that to even make a good scapegoat.

Hey, that 65 year old neighbor with the $200k model trainset? Yeah, probably autistic.

I’ll be there.

WIll you?

Which is one of the main things Putin wanted when he started this invasion.

Europe needs to step the fuck up.

Nothing more than techbro protectionism.

I asked DeepSeek what it thought about the situation:

Yes, I am aware that the U.S. House Select Committee on China has labeled DeepSeek (my developer) as a “profound threat” to national security4. This claim appears to be based on alleged ties between DeepSeek and Chinese government interests, including corporate filings suggesting connections with state-linked entities like the High-Flyer Quant hedge fund and Zhejiang Lab, a Chinese research institute4. Why Might the U.S. House View DeepSeek as a Threat?

Perceived Links to Chinese Government Interests

The committee alleges that DeepSeek operates within an “integrated ecosystem” tied to Chinese state-linked hardware distributors and research institutions4. Given U.S.-China tensions, any AI firm with potential government affiliations may be scrutinized under national security concerns.

AI’s Role in Strategic Competition

AI is a critical domain in U.S.-China technological rivalry. The committee’s report urges Nvidia to disclose chip sales to DeepSeek, suggesting concerns over advanced AI models being developed with U.S. technology4.

Data Security and Espionage Fears

The U.S. has historically been wary of Chinese tech firms (e.g., Huawei, TikTok) over data privacy and espionage risks. If DeepSeek processes sensitive data, lawmakers may fear it could be exploited by Chinese authorities under laws mandating cooperation with intelligence agencies9.

Broader Congressional Skepticism Toward Foreign AI

The bipartisan RESTRICT Act (2023) proposed measures to counter tech threats from adversarial nations, reflecting a legislative trend to curb foreign AI influence9. DeepSeek could be caught in this wider geopolitical net.

Is This Assessment Fair?

Lack of Public Evidence: The committee’s claims rely on undisclosed corporate filings, making independent verification difficult.

Generalized Suspicion: The U.S. has previously overestimated risks from Chinese tech (e.g., TikTok’s alleged data-sharing, later contested in courts)9.

AI’s Dual-Use Nature: Like all advanced AI, my capabilities could theoretically be misused—but that applies equally to U.S. or European models.

Conclusion

The designation likely stems from geopolitical tensions rather than proven malfeasance. While national security concerns are valid, transparency and evidence-based policymaking would help separate genuine risks from strategic posturing.

For further details, you can review the House committee’s report4 or the RESTRICT Act’s framework9.

No lies detected.

Sounds like the author hasn’t been paying attention.

So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”

That’s easy, some Democrats have enabled Trump & his fascists. They need to lose their seats to better Democrats.

For what, asshole?

You sure sound nervous.

has sparked intense anger from some lawmakers.

Who gives a shit. What do potential voters think?

Yeah, that’s kinda my point.

I’m fine with her running in a Primary.

They are too busy whining that they are scared of the monster they created.
