The administration should not be able to arbitrarily punish companies they don’t like. Full stop.

We need a neutral regulatory body for AI with objective, predictable standards. Not random bans based on whether the president likes you. Unless GPT 5.6 also gets a ban, this will look extremely bad for the administration.

Our economy depends on fair application of rule of law. Not anti-growth cronyism based on who is friends Trump.

The precedent set here would be broad and scary. Treating any API like an export makes it very easy for the administration to bully companies they disagree with.
