My conspiracy theory is that this is the new space race, and the CCP encourages this to show the world what Chinese engineers are capable of, and tank the Anthropic/OpenAI valuation bubble as a desirable side effect.

Half of the engineers at OAI and Anthropic are Asian, I don't think China does all these for signaling.

I was not trying to make that kind of argument, but rather a geopolitical one.

Retaining world-class talent and home-growing industries is no small feat. In Europe, we have been struggling with this, and I am not even entirely sure why.

A lot of world-class talent do not want to pay 50-60% taxes, so they move somewhere else. Not everyone, I'm just saying, it was a genuine consideration for me.

What an odd thing to say

Oh no, 1kkk market country with top-tier research labs developing its own technology, must be evil!

Well, no, they're not aligned with our interests therefore we're concerned with their mastery here. You have the clause the wrong way around.
