Notice how quickly the AI narrative shifted from:
- AI will cure all disease!
- AI will solve all physics and math!
- AI will let you live forever!
- AI will make everything free!
- AI will make everybody rich!

... to now:
- AI might kill humanity, we have to slow down!

That narrative flip happened literally in one weekend. (This weekend.) But BOTH things can't be true: If AI is so great for humanity and is going to cure all disease and make everybody rich, why would they suddenly want to slow it down or turn it off?

(Joke) A geek walks into a bar and proclaims, "Haven't you heard? AI might get loose and take down governments, collapse fiat currencies and kill off national leaders, beginning with parliamentarians, bureaucrats and even senators!"

A patron seated in the back retorts, "Yeah? And what's the downside?"

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese humanoid robots (FCC ban this year). Why? Because they're better.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese EVs. Why? Because they're better.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese drones. Why? Because they're better and cheaper.

- The U.S. government has already banned Chinese-made network routers. Why? Because they're better and cheaper.

NOW, they want to ban Chinese-made open source AI models.

Guess why?

Because the AI models are great and also FREE.

Thus, the U.S. government wants to restrict your access to them and protect the U.S. AI cartel just like the automobile cartel and robot cartels are being protected.

This is PROTECTIONISM disguised as "safety."
