You say '... block any imported EVs ...' as if that  tariff action were a bad thing. I'd favor the  retro/contra-tilt: block ALL "industrial" manufactured  imports except medical equipment.  OTOH allow  importied "craft" products like German/Russian sausage , Irish whisky and Italian womens shoes.  Individuals and "guilds" and sweatshops may compete world-wide. A producer/designer  society values much higher than  consumer/investor cultures. Let globalist sociopaths and mercantile pederasts immigrant to China ha...hahaha and watch them howl when Maos' doppelganger rises again. .

Indonesia is a Muslim country with approx the same population of USA, but sharia-law & a yearly theater  box-office less than 10% of ours. Indonesia really does-not-count as a media mover, so their use of movie.ai fades into noise. When a country ( like China ) with a proven record of world-class films begins slurping *.ai into their art  then movie-goers  can start to worry. BTW// I do not consider integrated CGI-crafted catastrophes as "ai".

Yep. China is employing economic screws to promote state power ... as has every city/state/nation since Gobekli-Tepi.  It's all good ... and USA should return the favor by rejecting ALL/ANY Chinese manufactured products or raw materials.  Shut-down trading that has never been in USA interests, apart from a few sociopathic globalists. If required the USA can go to a temporary  war-time footing and generate everything it needs right here or from "affiliated" partners. USA workers would see huge employment gains and SA/Canada would finally get the USA attention they deserve.  Some unproductive USA economic sectors --- like software --- would suffer: no problemo. To repeat ... China screws us we screw them ...  all's fair.

Not just scientists and engineers find AI technically useful. I am in a no-support / "troubled" WiFi environment with my Linux systems. I have used DDG.ai troubleshooting my  randomly(?)  on-again/off-again internet connection. Without DDG.ai I simply could not fumble-thru enough setting changes to maintain my connection. It's like having a tireless Linux-savvy  pal sitting at my side.

It's a fair guess ( the Kennedys thought so ) that excluding medicine, basic science has played-out until the next  Archimedes/DaVinci/Newton/Einstein/  comes along.  You know, once every couple centuries. Surely "string theory" failure has taught us something. A  century or two of  plodding experimental/engineering development seems the most robust and productive course of scientific action.  Meanwhile, methods like *.ai and Quantum computing can find their own  value-producing niche venues ... and humans can return to  more face-2-face cultures.

Likely 4Chan can simply ignore neo-Stalinist  British laws/regulation; surely ignore the fine.  Does 4Chan have a "hardware/brick" presence on English property? If not Brit leverage is zero. 'Course the  Brits may install their own "Great Firewall", but that will only provoke world-wide hackers to tunnel thru it as happens with the Chinese version.

Fact:  Chi.com electronics ALL/repeat/ALL include  firmware snooping devices that report activity back  to the CCP "mothership".  Importing such devices to America represents a direct  political/military  security risk. Of-course personal privacy is also suborned by these  Chi.com devices -- and  after corruption fed-back as mis-information --  but American companies have yet to be forbidden such data "kidnapping".  Best let the chi.comz eat their own production while American labor and capitol looks after internal consumption:  tools, raw materials, medical equipment and womens shoes excluded naturally.

I lived in Seattle 25 years ago, and still remember the local rag ( Seattle Times ) describing the Seattle workforce : "...  they are as productive as ants ..." . With a classical East-Coast education I was naturally horrified. Evidently  nothing has changed in  coastal Washington State.  Having lived in Spokane also, I know eastern Washington people mostly poach with Remingtons, not AI.

You  advise suffering; making  networked computer use as difficult as getting a drivers license. I do not see that as a step for'ard. Of-course I have spent the last three days getting two Linux boxes enabled on the  sketchy local WiFi.  Inexpert? Yep. Twenty years ago getting my Florida drivers license took 2 hours at DMV. YMMV.
