The funniest thing is how Americans have been fooled with this stuff.

This version of AI is mostly taking a public paper from 2017, investing in GPUs, and feeding it as much data as possible. So with a few computer scientists, no respect for intellectual property, and tons of money to burn, you have all the ingredients to create this technology.

Sam Altman and friends did it, as did the Chinese. The difference is that the Americans have been hyping it up to the extreme with all these dramatic scenarios about what would happen if someone else got its hands on it.

The Chinese made it public, among other things to show how fragile this is as a business and as a large part of the US stock market

The response from US corporations has been banning Chinese models claiming they’re spying or something.

		Yes, it's been widely well known that US corporations cannot compete fairly but require corporate welfare or US government to enforce military might over competitors.

I love the implication that this paper just dropped out of thin air and not decades of private AI research funded by a US company.

The Chinese distill US models, that's why they keep trailing close but never exceeding. It's easy to make things public when you didn't take on any of the cost of developing the technology. Stealing US IP and selling cheap copies has been China's MO for decades now.
