Interesting article, though nothing exactly new or surprising about KYC and anti-spam methods based on phone numbers and credit cards being fundamentally flawed and producing gray-market solutions.

Still, personally i think there's one piece missing in the article. Why would it be OK to restrict chinese users from using american models? I mean, personally i'm strongly anti-AI and i believe all AI companies need to die because they enhance the worst humanity has to offer. However, if AI is going to be legal, how can it be ethical to discriminate based on one's country? Especially if said country (China) is the one refining 90% of the minerals and rare earths the US uses to produce its computers.

Nvidia chips are also legal, yet restricted. No need to invoke ethics when you have power.
