As the largest AI scappers on the planet.. sure

They don't have nearly enough compute to be competitive on pretraining and distillation is exponentially cheaper.

It's literally the same tactic they do in every industry. Steal top IP, gov funding, ban the company they stole from domestically while driving cost to zero, try to kill the original IP creators.

They are actively in the process of doing this with Tesla as we speak. And are in the phase of pushing them out domestically and trying to destroy tesla marketshare globally.

They have obvious skills and add a lot of value while doing this but US could stop all of this by simply stopping their supply.

> Steal

It's competition, buddy. If you don't think we got big the same way you're nuts. And anyone who is trying to kill tesla has my money.

Anyway, I don't think there's much worth stealing at the moment. Chinese models provide much better value than any american firm.
