[everforward]

Color me doubtful. The big money for OpenAI is going to come from B2B, the majority of which is likely US-based.

The data they gather is also important to them as GP pointed out. They're getting novel data to train on that their competitors can't.

On top of all that, they're in an arms race with competitors. They're winning right now, but they could end up losing out.

If I were OpenAI, I'd have a long hard think about whether to play hardball here or not. Right now, it looks like they may get to pick winners and losers. I can think of at least a couple of countries that would probably be willing to make up the difference in revenue for a degree of control over the product.
