How about a firewall against nations that are hotbeds for scammers.

What's with Obama being in the thumbnail? No mention of him in the article

The subject of the photograph is meant to be the Great Wall of China, which the name Great Firewall of China is referencing. Now tech CEOs liked what ideas the dictatorship had and want an American version. Obama is present because I believe he narrated a wonders of the world documentary, and it was just a weird choice.

"It is imperative that we do not allow [Chinese] AI systems to gain significant market share in the United States."

Do these tech experts by any chance are investors or advisors to investors of openAI?

Computer, I would like to run a simulation where these people are investors in High-flyer and see how they would react to this.

They were fine with ditching American manufacturing to make companies like Walmart by moving it to places like China, Bangladesh, etc. I guess this is competition and they don't like that.

Half of those "AI Executives" are just part of hype companies wrapped up in the AI bubble. It's the exact same as the crypto bubble, everyone started some company to get gullible VCs to dump money into them. Now it's popping. Congrats. Now we're going to lose the rest of the internet as we know it because they wanted to make it rich quick.

This administration is on a big government speedrun

They want to stop NVIDIA chips from entering China? Good luck with that! China is where they manufacture the circuit boards containing those chips! Sure, you can halt the supply of NVIDIA chips to China, but not without putting NVIDIA out of business.

Billions don't want to stop path to trillionaire-dom just because they don't lead the market in any way at all any longer.
