The Chinese labs don't have to make money or be profitable. They are funded by the state to achieve the state's goals, and the global praise of their open model

The Chinese labs don't have to make money or be profitable. They are funded by the state to achieve the state's goals, and the global praise of their open models just serves as Chinese soft power.
They're state companies, not some kind of ethical VC charity fund project.
- Spooky23 6mo agoIs it so different? If the US’s fascist experiment continues past the current president, we’ll absolutely be nationalizing frontier companies or exerting equivalent control.
- treis 6mo agoYes, China is very different from the US.

- platevoltage 6mo agoCertainly Biden and Obama check off a few of the 14 points of Fascism, but are we really being serious here? "TDS" is just a thought terminating cliche.
- watwut 6mo ago> Sigh. Obama and Biden were as every bit "fascist" as Trump. Absolutely not. There is huge difference in the their behaviors. > But it's all Trump's fault is much more convenient. It is not just Trumps fault. Trump is logical consequence of what conservative party became. J.D.Vance and Miller are as much fascists if not more. The whole party worked for this for years and created this. > And Congress has proven over the last several decades that their oversight is rather meaningless for the goals of American voters rather than special interests. Of course congress in general is not the place to stop republican party from their fascists goals, because republicans in the congress support Trump 100%. They stand by project 2025 100%. They are doing oversight all right when it comes to blocking democrats. The idea that the party that made Trump big, promoted ideas he build on and created project 2025 is supposed to be counterbalance to itself is absurd.
- Spooky23 6mo agoAnd Trump simps are real. I said continued fascism post-Trump. Help me out, which major public company did the Obama administration take a material ownership stake in? Which media companies did George W pressure into putting toadies into key management and editorial positions? I can't find those references, but perhaps the liberal media is hiding the truth?
- cdelsolar 6mo agoget the hell out of here with this "TDS" garbage. they literally just disenfranchised all the black voters in the south.
- topaz0 6mo agoIt's a huge mistake to jump from "all recent presidents have abused executive power in some way" (accurate and bad, and we shouldn't stand for it) to "they are all the same/their abuses are equally extreme/damaging" (incredibly ignorant and incorrect)
- 2ndorderthought 6mo agoThe fun part is, they are making money and have way less to pay off despite 100s of billions in donations than the US companies do.
