Man you really should have read the article to understand that the main competitor to the K-202 had ties to the Communist government and was able to get production shut down.

There was also some concern over the number of western parts inside of the K-202, so a modern equivalent would be closer to the U.S. banning of Huawei hardware in U.S. cell networks, where the hardware is cheaper and superior, but we ban it because we want to protect our own domestic hardware suppliers, and avoid letting too many Chinese-made parts into our country's critical digital infrastructure.

    What do you think regulatory capture is? The exact same behavior, and we have it all over our society. The parallels to OpenAI are obvious. And if you look... sure enough, the board has multiple people connected directly to the bowels of federal government.

    Granted, I don't think OpenAI is 1/10000th as interesting as microcomputers were, but it's still nauseating to see people take aforementioned bleating seriously.
