Commoditize the compliment at a massive scale? Make everything free and then only the raw natural resources become what makes a country valuable, instead of the output of their knowledge work.
- oytis 1y agoBut that's essentially the bright future drawn by American AI companies. As on copyright vs no copyright, I agree with the view of Bunny Huang. Chinese laxity with copyright doesn't destroy the advantage of the first mover - it just puts a limit to it. Basically if you want to be on top, you need to keep innovating non-stop, you can't rest on your laurels. Systems relying on copyright allow companies to alienate engineers' work, that's how Oracle ended up with more lawyers than engineers (even if that's just a meme). Systems where knowledge is distributed freely (including the open source community) gives power to engineers.
