It can also be a "pulling up the ladder behind them."

They're at the top, so now they want to have regulatory bodies that of course should be made of "industry leaders" to implement "regulations". Regs that just happen to make it impossible to hold them to account and all but impossible to compete with them.

See the US softwood lumber lobby. They have had a 40+ year goal of getting unfettered access to Canadian(specifically BC) trees. So despite getting billions in US gov aid every year, the BC gov wanting to maintain old logging roads as trails is "illegally aiding the industry"

    I think you are right, but regardless of the anti free market bullshit they are trying, deepseek is going to eat their lunch.

    Even if the deepseek frontier model is 12 months behind anthropic, it will be "good enough" soon and cost pennies.

    I get the fear of "china bad" for maybe the us government applications, but the us government and corporations are already stealing our data so I don't really fear the Chinese government at a personal level, in Louisiana

    Yeah, the CCP is still going to catch up to them and when they move to cut R&D for profit, will pass them.

    The car industry is proof of that.

    Sure. Just like how Huawei has no connection to the CCP?

    Same as Texaco and Reagan, Raytheon and Bush, SpaceX and Trump.

    Do you think the world doesn't see the corruption in all the above?

    For the record I would rather Merica and China fight to the death so the rest of the world can get a break.

    And leave your hands away from Cuba and Taiwan.

    Thats a stupid argument, if you're making it as a point "USA companies are not influenced by USA government and don't suck its dick".

    Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Google are large companies known to be regulated by the USA government and to spy on its behalf (e. g. Cloud act, PRISM). Add communications like Verizon and AT&T for domestic (bulk data handovers, see Snowden).
