Trump banned Huawei when US companies started having trouble competing with them. Biden banned Chinese EVs when they got better than Tesla. Now Trump is banning Chinese humanoid robots. A ban on Chinese open weight AI models feels inevitable at this point.

Dam, we are never going to have anything cool in the US. Our robot companies are too busy raising money to make more cool looking power points to then raise more money to burn not making an actually sellable product before they go under :(

It is starting to feel like if the US bans a technology then you know that is the good stuff. In the same way all the best albums had the "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" label on the front.
