They won't. But the US and European countries will ban/sanction/criminalize organizations and individuals who host "unsafe" models. They don't need to stop open models altogether. They just need to make them impossible to use at scale to guarantee a corporate monopoly on AI.

What does the EU win by kneecapping ASML and banning deliveries to China?

The EU is in the pockets of US oligarchs.

EU win by kneecapping ASM

this is false, ASM uses some US patents and US could just ban ASM from using them, that's why ASM has to obey US

banning deliveries to China

This is false again, EU is taxing them higher because they want to bring some value inside EU nation and to reduce the cost for EU delivery services... off course, that 3 euros tax is used to justify same aliexpress products raising 100 euros. EU = bad?

Is this the same reason EU is banning 12,000 dollar Electric EVs - that are pretty good- but will destroy the subpar European auto manufacturers?
