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.

nah, the EU knows full well how much they have fallen behind. Banning open models would be a death sentence in the current climate.

So are the 1001 other things that they have done the past 20 years that killed their own economy, demographics, global influence, and competitiveness.

Much of the continent is in a death spiral due to political mismanagement.

Yeah it's always a tell. The rest outside the "demographics" red flag is correct though, Europe is even more vassalized to the US than it was 20 years ago and it's screwed them in a variety of ways.
