USA can’t block the world from using it. So good luck trump. China is winning.
Exact same strategy they used for Chinese EVs… head in the sand while China steals their global marketshare. I still get a chuckle when Americans paint Chinese EVs as poor/lesser quality.
Frankly, this kind of meddling just makes it more appealing to use Chinese models. Chinese models are often open-weight, meaning that they’re basically immune to foreign meddling - if China decides tomorrow to “cut you off” you just need to find some other provider that’s offering those models and buy access from them instead. Or if you’re a big enough organization, just rent or buy some hardware and run it yourself.
This sort of meddling shows that the US government is eager to weaponize access to AI, and if you’re dependent on American models there are no other places you can run them.
This! The irony is that every attempt to turn AI into a geopolitical choke point becomes free marketing for open weight models. People tend to trust tools they can actually control. If access can vanish with a policy memo, resilience suddenly matters more than benchmark bragging.
US was too focused on trying to force dominance, they forgot what actual competition is. They could have spent that effort in becoming better, encouraging more US based companies. Instead here we are.
That’s an accurate diagnosis. U.S. big tech companies all follow the same playbook: use VC to buy off or price-dump to death all of your competitors. Become a monopoly. Then enshittify and extract the maximum amount of wealth from b2b and retail customers by increasing the cost of your services.
Any sane country would have drowned these companies in anti-trust cases and carved them up. But political leadership at the time was too high on neoliberal free market ideology and the fairytales these self-styled “tech geniuses” wove around themselves. Now big tech has effectively bought off the U.S. government.
They’re in for a nasty surprise when they find out that the U.S. is not the world, and the rest of the world can do pretty well without the U.S…
If you want a vision of things to come look at the retail industry of the 1980s. All those big box stores and anchor stores of malls all over the US. Absolutely zero presence internationally. You can’t go to Target in London or Best Buy in Paris, because they don’t exist. What we do have though is German shops in Italy and Swedish stores in the UK. Everyone else understood how to do it it was only the Americans that couldn’t, and to be clear they tried to spread internationally, but they weren’t prepared to make the local changes and so they failed.
I have worked for US companies in the past and they always insist on trying to push American work culture in foreign officers, and it never works.
I worked for a us company in Canada and got like 6000 dollars from them because they fired me illegally lol
Oh yeah the idea that they can’t just get rid of people on a whim is a complete alien concept to them.
Agree 100%.
Exactly. Dominance is earned by building products people genuinely prefer, not by making alternatives harder to reach. Every restriction becomes an incentive for competitors to innovate faster. If the US had focused on winning through better models, stronger companies, and real competition instead of political leverage, it would probably be in an even stronger position today.
