If I have to be precise with my natural languages sure, more closed on certain dimensions

Recent years efforts from these politicians make me believe we are heading towards the direction that one day it's not just certain dimensions but fully isolated.

Name one Chinese EV you can buy in U.S.

Name one U.S. EV you can buy in China

Now we want to do the same efforts for llm, not even allow to download to run locally that is specifically from China, and running llm doesn't even need Internet.

Honestly I've never heard such legislation in any other country, not even north korea or iran.

I can understand ban export, but banning import? Seriously? Even Kim Jong Un is riding with Mercedes.

So. This hasn’t happened yet. It’s just a bill sponsored by a nut job representative. Not a law. Not even put up for debate yet.

From your definition, North Korea forbids the “import” of most of the Internet for normal citizens. The fact that Kim jong un can drive around a Mercedes is just showing the supreme leader can get whatever he wants under a despotic state- if through some miracle this stupid bill became law and Trump wanted to run deepseek on his government laptop I’m sure he could do so as well.

For every Chinese company banned in the US, I can easily name ten US companies banned in China. Just start naming all the internet companies blocked.

So yeah, you finding some examples, and completely ignoring examples of China doing the banning, doesn't prove that the US is worse. Not even close.

1) You're confusing proposed bill with actual legislation. Plenty of really retarded bills proposed by all administrations.

2) Even if it somehow became a law, you can't enforce it. How are you going to stop someone from downloading an open source model?
