I think they probably acquire it in accordance with Chinese law.
> but I don't think the US "started it" to be fair.
Who are you quoting with those marks? Started what? To be fair to whom?
You can easily look up[1] how China struggles with effective enforcement of IP laws.
And specifically for LLMs, Anthropic recently claimed that Chinese models trained on it without permission.[2]
> Who are you quoting with those marks?
Double quote marks have other uses besides direct quotes, such as signaling unusual usage.[3] In this case, talking about countries like they're squabbling kids.
> Started what?
Fishy use of others' IP, packaging others' work without attribution.
> To be fair to whom?
To US companies using Chinese LLMs without attribution.

As to what Anthropic said, it's quite specious as this analysis shows [1], ie the amount of "exchanges" is only tantamount to a single day or two of promoting, not nearly enough to actually get good RL training data from. Regardless, it's not as if other American LLM companies obtained training data legitimately, whatever that means in today's world.

I didn't see anything in there about Chinese companies violating Chinese law.
Can you so easily look up how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of Chinese IP laws? I think it should be pretty easy to see how American companies struggle with effective enforcement of European IP laws, and I can tell you it is similar.
From here, it is not so clear that the US can even enforce its own laws at the moment.
> signaling unusual usage
Thank you!

I see. I guess if China is 3000 years old then maybe obviously, because the US is such a young country by comparison.
So you think it is "fair"[1] to violate Chinese Law because there were people in China who violated US law first?
If so, I think that is pretty childish.
[1]: I am trying it out!
That's extremely rich coming from Anthropic, though? Well they would know all about it of course...
