ASML owns the company that builds the light source. They acquired it, it's a US company, which is why US export controls apply, that's all. If needed, they could replicate the subsidiary in the EU.

This is oversimplified view of the world and China. China being powerful is not something new, it was the world's largest economy for 18 of the past 20 centuries (with exceptions being parts of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Western

You are overinterpreting what they said again. "Go/Dota/Poker/Diplomacy" do not use LLMs, which means they are not considered "general purpose" by them. And to prove it to you, look at the OpenAI IMO solut
