American "growth" companies aren't 100% funded by the USA Gov't with the only goal being to damage foreign national private sector companies. American companies are private sector only and have a business model that's to benefit a company, not a nation. In China all companies function as part of their National Party.

How can you believe that when copyright laws only applied when regular people pirate but not when big tech uses pirates content to it train their AI? Also it's known that Pentagon funded many tech companies during cold war https://qz.com/the-pentagon-is-spending-billions-on-big-tech-and-silic-1851423069 https://qz.com/the-pentagon-is-spending-billions-on-big-tech... . Is this not government funding?
- quantadev 2y agoWhat I meant was that in America the Gov't doesn't get to dictate the actions and policies of private sector companies, whereas in Communist China their Gov't absolutely does control the private sector, and has it's tentacles deep into every important industry. Regarding letting AIs train on copyrighted material, which is a separate issue, I do think that will and should remain legal. For example if an AI can learn to paint in the style of Picasso, that's a skill, not a theft. Same is true of an AI that can learn to write "in the style of" Hemingway, for example.
