This is very silly in part because it would be vastly more effective to, instead of dropping billions of dollars on buying overpriced obsolete hardware from Nvidia to try to wastefully train a duplicative model which will be beaten by open-source models before you finish training it and where your hardware will be near-worthless a few years after that, spend that money figuring out how to release online all of your country's core data. (A billion bucks pays for an awful lot of scanning, or sending people out with used smartphones to record anything and everything oral, etc.)
Let everyone else scrape it and spend the money to turn it into a model you get for free (and the model after that, and the model after that, and...). Nobody's going to turn down your data!
Just Tom Sawyer that AI fence-painting, and laugh all the way to the bank.
