China is leading AI race with their open source deepseek-v3. It is laughable to think they this regulation with stop them. USA should actually collaborate, not isolate.

China engineers have capability to get around these silly sanctions, by renting cloud GPUs from USA companies for example, to get access to as many compute as they want. or to use consumer grade compute, or their homegrown Chinese CPUs/GPUs.

USA should actually embrace open source and collaborate together, as we are still in the very beginning of AI revolution

The entire point is to not collaborate, because this tech is being used for military purposes. The US wants to throw up roadblocks to make it more difficult. Obviously, against a foreign military, anything is a mitigation and not a prevention.

That's why they're also moving towards KYC for cloud providers.
