I can see both of the sides of the argument. It seems that we use US funding to help everyone circumvent ARM and x86. The problem is that US enemies are also recipients of the US technology contributions. But what is the alternative? Stop publishing everything ?

Exactly. You make everything illegal or “regulated” (practically banned). The EU is already leading the way and has touched machine learning, end-to-end capable encryption and software distribution in various of its regulation directives. - Communications (every chat software must come with spyware installed) - AI (machine learning is too scary and authors say it will kill mankind, worse than a climate change) - RISC-V (terrorists can use it in missiles) - Open source (terrorists can run missiles and super computers with Linux) - Software distribution (either because of communications or AI) - Cryptocurrency wallets (interacting with a software wallet you wrote yourself makes your a suspicious and banks will deplatform you on the basis of anti-money laundering) You need to remember that end-to-end encryption exporting was illegal in the US until 90s. Now when Trump has stacked supreme court with his own sockpuppets they may want to reverse any decision regarding this like they did with abortion.

  I just will say regulation doesnt equal ban. And that i am pretty sure EU didnt ban open source, RISC-V, encryption or software distribution. Some EU member states politicians have stupid ideas about communications/encryption so they push proposals but these are also often corporate lobby to gain more control over the networks. And afaik nothing has passed into actual law. If anything EU has been generaly aiming their regulations at the american big tech which many see as vultures feeding on users and most importantly avoiding taxes.

China and companies from China have done a lot of work on RISC-V. So the US is also recipient of China technology. Its kind of the point of open source.
