The title is misleading, to the point of being an outright lie. The quote they put under the heading quotes politicians, not “tech execs”. The only quote from a tech exec in the article (Anthropic CEO) is talking about export controls for chips, which is very different from a “great firewall” that the title claims.

A “great firewall” would mean blocking Chinese AI products from being accessible in the US, not blocking exports of US products into China. The article only quotes politicians asking for that, despite what they put in the title.

EDIT: and for context, ChatGPT is blocked in China, while DeepSeek is allowed in the US, to the point of being the top trending App Store app.

No kids, no regrets, at 34. Life is already stressful enough with instability around housing and long-term career prospects (what with AI affecting jobs and such). With kids in the picture, I feel like that anxiety would just be ten times worse.
