Also, assuming you're writing from a United States perspective, part of the reason so much of our manufacturing sector was outsourced to China (and other nations) is that since 1971 the US dollar has been our primary export, as the global reserve currency among all the fiat currencies. This is starting to change, so I think we'll see more and more manufacturing returning to the USA as the dollar looses international reserve status. And I wonder to what extended Chinese copying our technologies is connected to macro monetary realities.
It will be generally good for the world, for American manufacturing, workers, businesses, and families---pretty much for all except Wall Street banks and those close to the government money spigots.
- gumballindie 3y agoI am writing from a european perspective as we share common problems caused by countries copying our products and ideas. Now it would appear that the US wants to do the same but for intellectual work. That's not nice to put it mildly. I think licensing data, expensive as it may be, would eventually lead to higher quality ai and healthier growth. At the moment this whole campaign of promoting openai's products, and those of similar companies, appears to be focused on: 1) i'll take your products (books, art, software, music) 2) resell them 3) put you out of a job. That's precisely what malicious actors such as China have done. Not only are we swamped with lower quality products, but as you wrote, we are also facing significant social and economic issues. This time at an unprecedented scale.
