Reminds me of when a business bans mention of it's competitors because they know their own offering is trash (rather than make something they are proud of). I think it's called Insecurity.

If the openly available China stuff is so great, make something great yourself if you want to compete with them. To instead ban it is to essentially hold americans down and reduce the quality of what they can do. So nah. Trash Trump decision. No one wants Altman as US AI posterboy. Don't force people from openly available high quality stuff on to the Altman bandwagon.

A real company should be able to mention their competitors without fear because they are proud of what they made and genuinely think it's the best and, if it isn't, they are actively improving it to the point they feel it is.

This decision basically shows US AI insecurity, there will be a shift, and that Altman can't compete with better people.
