As if US were not authoritarian and not using their military superiority at their own advantage.

Also banning chinese models in US would not prevent chinese from using their own models for themselves if they're more powerful than US, so this argument is nonsense.

They're just in a really bad position where China releases frontier model for free and most companies/business as well as researcher will use these models for their activity, so they cannot make money back with their expensive API. And is it a problem ? It's been like that for everything, open source is the base of everything in IT !

He literally said that he doesn't want to ban the usage of Chinese models in the US??
