Gulag ain't "jail"
Anybody have a mirror link? It'd be a shame if I accidentally downloaded it.
On a side note, wasn't this the guy that Sean O'Brien praised for being pro-worker?

Outlawing Chinese AI in the USA might seem like a "straightforward solution", but it could have unintended consequences: escalation, underground development, and missed opportunities. At the end of the day, the goal should be to protect human rights and promote transparency, not just in the US or China, but around the world.
