Here is what happens if the US sanctions Kimi or DeepSeek - US companies operate at a disadvantage - The AI market ( 70% is outside the US) stops using our companies - We breed tons of competition from China, Europe, and Asia - US AI companies and the economy die Let open-source flourish instead and beat China by out-innovating them. This is the way!
Bindu Reddy warns sanctioning Chinese AI hurts US competitiveness
Sanctions would drive foreign customers away from US providers.
Many users objected to the US policy on Kimi AI for raising costs for American users while sparing Chinese rivals, calling it economic self-sabotage and destructive.

Your (suggested) policy is not penalizing Kimi: Kimi will continue to distill Anthropic and launch better models. Kimi is not making much money in the U.S anyways and banning Kimi will only prove their tech works and help with their China IPO. Instead, your policy penalizes all American consumers and enterprises, increasing their AI OpEx and slowing down AI Adoption while the rest of the world doesn't. Your job was supposed to MAGA. Why penalize America and make it worse?
We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model. To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models. The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.
@quxiaoyin I can't think of a better way to get people to try Kimi than to ban it.
@quxiaoyin Their job is to kiss their boss’s rare end by saying whatever pleases their masters(who got a lot of money tied up in the AGI-digital slavery of mankind future)..they can’t stand the fact that common people want the freedom to own a piece of the future, they want absolute control
@quxiaoyin Yes, kindly explain it to this guy like he is five like you explained to Cramer yesterday. It won't help, they are startled. Hope Kimi actually releases weights, the game becomes more defined from then on.
@quxiaoyin MAGA was never the objective. Destruction of America 🇺🇸 is their objective.
@quxiaoyin Distilling US frontier models while we tie our own hands is straight-up economic self-sabotage.
@quxiaoyin Penalizing kimi in the US? lol okay bro like they care
@phink0 @quxiaoyin Not Fable but probably a previous iteration. Which is why there is so much "overlap."
@quxiaoyin Correct. This reasoning is so backwards. Belongs in opposite-world. The advice these officials are getting is terrible.
@quxiaoyin Good policy should strengthen domestic innovation, not unintentionally make it more expensive to adopt. The real test is whether it changes the behavior of competitors while keeping American businesses competitive, productive, and ahead in the global AI race.
@quxiaoyin "Predatory dumping is an illegal international trade practice where a foreign company sells products below market value to drive out domestic competitors. Once the competition is eliminated, the company establishes a monopoly and drastically raises prices to recoup losses."
@quxiaoyin "Kimi will continue to distill Anthropic"... Do you believe they did for K3? That doesn't make any sense.
