    China has a huge advantage in AI models because of how lax they are on intellectual property rights. US companies are fighting over API licensing costs, while china is just going to scrape everything and use it for free.

    The US has a lead now, but I don’t think they can maintain it without giving up on ethical training. Then again it may not matter if the US models are ethical if everyone will eventually just uses the superior unethically trained chinese models instead.

        I mean, they are right. Asside the question of whether we can even make meaningfully better models by just using LLMs and more data and what the future of AI will look like, and whether it’s ethical or not to steal the data, it is quite possible that OpenAI and the like will get into legal trouble because of the methods they use for acquiring data, but Chinese companies won’t have to worry about that. If more data = better models then China has an obvious advantage.

          I doubt any of these US government and oligarch backed companies are gonna get any trouble. They essentially robbed the commons and got away with it. But sure Sam Altman has to pay spezz some money for my shitposts… the horror, what a hurdle!

          Quickly give them more taxpayer money so they can compete with china!
