Protip: Some of us were not involved in the desecration caused by the East India Tea Company. Just because we look British means we should suffer like them, too?
I am just saying, this AI controversy has roots from before the creation of OpenAI. If OpenAI used European IP, I would think that would be a good thing for Europe, assuming AI is the future?
What’s also funny is that the promoters of the “China is stealing all of our IP in exchange for their labor” folks never mention why corporations don’t just pull out?
Are these IP thefts or technology transfers? If corporations are having their IP stolen, why don’t they just leave?
These narratives never explain or mention this. Idk why people still latch onto them, they are completely uninteresting “China is stealing all our IP and there’s nothing we can do about it except for continuing to allow our IP to be stolen” is an IQ test and trope.
Does “theft of IP” outweigh, or not, “access to very cheap labor (read: jobs)” ?
We need to stop simping for corporations and start thinking critically about these things.
