Yep. We'll steal China's IP as well so all of this really is just no big deal. Everyone is a robber in some way.

Though one must ask, why are American models banned in China? Hmmm.

> It's not that China won't come up with what the US are coming up with. Just a matter of when it would happen.

I agree. All this discussion about China releasing open weight models is amusing. It's like ok they release open weight models.... and so what? If they leapfrog ahead of the US then we'll just undercut them with our own open weight models.

Because they're not? But the American government and Anthropic don't want American models to be used by the Chinese. Anthropic is notorious for its effort to tell if the user is within China.

Because the models are behind a gate and the data goes overseas. The same is not true for open weight models. One should avoid the former and prefer the latter simply based on principle, not on country of origin.
