> They wouldn't because most of the western democratic countries are now actively preventing China from stealing their technologies.
Thats all kind of small considering the kind of information that has already been dropshiped out with no real punishments to the chinese government itself.
All these efforts are is trying to plug the holes, not realizing the holes aren't just company buyouts but mostly espionage via chinese citizens. Even if you lock them up, they still sent the data, nothing was really prevented.
> And yet Sam Altman is just going to give China free knowhow/technologies.
Yea? Because that's all government and politics. This is markets and profits.
> Are you not aware of the sesame credit enacted by the Chinese government? Facial recognition in cameras installed everywhere?
Yea alot of people actually like it, being able to get benefits for being an upstanding system. I've heard it described as a system of karma.
Besides, we have the same things anyway, credit scores and CCTV, we just have a different cultural view of it.
> Millions of muslims in reeducation camps in Xinjiang?
And we don't put muslims in jail at higher rates than the native populations? See this just all seems like reflecting the fact that all countries have these issues.
> If anything, the Chinese government can take over a private startup quickly, and use the tech against Silicon Valley companies.
Maybe, but that's the business risk you take. If they think that's the best way to run their country, what right do we have to tell them they are wrong? Especially when we aren't exactly innocent.
