Because they are seen as at the forefront of the next revolution in society and they’re not adversarial towards the US government. Bluntly: anticipated net huge positive for the US as a whole. | | |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 9 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Well, they'd presumably be different hackers than the ones who work on Linux. We don't know what would motivate them. Maybe they'll do it because they consider the next stage of man's intellectual evolution to be too important to leave up to a couple of American companies and the Trump administration. Maybe they'll do it for the proverbial lulz. |

Firstly artificial superintelligence is a science fiction, it does not exist and it cannot be built using existing technology. Second, plenty of stuff is possible to build, and is not built for one reason or another no matter how powerful. We never built our nukes in space for example. And there is exactly one reason why nukes in space was never built, and that reason is that we agreed not to. | | |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 6 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I'm being descriptive, not prescriptive. The "narrative" isn't intended to "work," except as a statement of fact. |

| ▲ | Animats 4 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | The argument for copyright violation is very weak. Yes, AI training reads much copyrighted material. So do researchers of all types. That's why there are academic libraries. A copyright violation only exists if what comes out is a close match to what went in. That's happened, but it was considered a bug and was fixed a year or two ago. |
