Yeah, like the printers using metal powder need pretty much a hazmat gear to operate.

Most cheap-o grade filament metal 3d printers are 10k and up, there really is no real hobbyist pricepoint for metal 3d printing. The industrial level metal 3d printers were already at 100k to million per machine. This is obviously targetting things like automotive and aerospace industry, that can easily pay those prices, not consumers. Maybe if we get more Wire DED metal 3d printers the cost might go down, or it won't.

PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORT AND EXPORT

They are just doing protectionism for Meta and OpenAI monopoly and shooting rest of the american economy in the foot by doing it. Anybody who isn't openAI one of these tech giants will have to use less effective american gen-AIs, that they can't self host for free for much less cost provided that they have servers. This Just to protect companies like openAI, that relied on the idea that people will have to come to them, so they can set the prize and still harvest their data and even insert all the right political narratives into the model, like what happened with chatgpt and palestine. All of this because few weeks ago good AI was supposed to super hard and scarce and now it isn't.

Can they even enforce this is the question? Will ISP's be forced to ban the deepseek site? Will they criminalize people self hosting deepseek on their home servers? Still that 180 days is just a call to download deepseek and modify it a little bit as it not to be chinese anymore and start hosting it as some alternative.

It makes sense in a way that it incentivises people to go and stay in sony's walled garden, like all exclusives do.

A lot of corps just sit on their IP:s and do stuff just this DMCA, because they like to set an example as not to touch their shit. Don't get your hopes up for remaster.

Is it for the sake of "Trump proofing" or are there other reasons? Looking at what has been safeguarded one thinks they are expecting a some sociology department purge. No matter what one might think it's still a really bad idea to start a book burning. Even if it could be objectively proven that all that stuff is nonsense and dangerous it still doesn't mean that they warrant destruction, because everything is worthy of keeping around because it can still be referenced and for history's sake. People who ban books and restrict access are really more afraid of an argument than protecting the truth.

fyi: Never title our posts like "I found this on site X" or "I found this to be cool". It's seriously bad practice.

Russia has oligarchs. The west has successful entrepreneurs.

Now I'm imagining a Roomba with 9mm pointing at me.

Really highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.

Holy ideology, Batman!

But then who on this planet was expecting that.

It's actually really funny.
