Government regulation.
'Can't have your data going to China'
'Can't allow companies that do censorship aligned with foreign nations'
'This company violated our laws and used an American company's tech for their training unfairly'
And the government choosing winners.
'The government in announcing 500 billion going to these chosen winners, anyone else take the hint, give up, you won't get government contracts but will get pressure'.
Good thing nobody is making these sorts of arguments today.
- astrange 2y agoThe government isn't giving 500 billion to anyone. They just let Trump announce a private deal he has no involvement.
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoCorrect, as I stated the government is just giving their 'blessing'.
- DrScientist 2y agoSurely that will end in fragmentation along national lines if monopolies are defined by governments. Sure US economic power has a long reach right now because of the importance of the dollar etc - but the more it uses that to bully, the more countries are making sure they are independent.
