How would they even attempt to implement this? Will the US end up with a Great Firewall like China has? Even if Chinese models are delisted from Hugging Face (since Hugging Face is a US company and has to follow US law), they could just be hosted elsewhere.

    Most likely, they'll just enforce it against businesses using it since they're the cash cow as far as OpenAI, meta et all are concerned

    As far as I know they still haven't forced all government agencies to use AI, which was talked about... So they also have a cash cow there.
