> Europe, like much of the West, foolishly delegated tech, media, payment systems, etc, to the United States.

No they didn't. Europe has played a role in building all of these. Especially from the software side.

Also anyone that doesn't like the US is free to stop using any American website, device, or service. There are alternatives to everything. For instance I do not like Meta, I refuse to use any of their websites or devices. The domains are blocked on my LAN.

> Anthropic and OpenAI are both very close to getting the US government to ban and fully criminalize the open Chinese models

This is complete nonsense. First of all most Americans don't give a shit about AI companies like it's a sport and those are our teams we have to support. Second the hysteria around AI is mostly from non-Americans that are completely out of the AI race worried about losing access to good models. That is valid, but also it needs to be recognized.
