One area where I'll be worried about China (not sure India as it's following USA in many ways) is they needn't spend time, resources on ensuring political compliance. Maybe yes in a different sense but not in the same sense as in returning "correct" answers for questions. We saw that with Google.

That should knock God knows how many GPU cycles, time and training of models.

Huh? China has political censorship by law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_China

It’s much harder if anything, due to the sheer amount of topics censored.

That's what I meant by different sense. Yes.

But I suspect it applies to citizen facing things. It doesn't likely hold up research or pressures them into returning POC Viking images.

I could be wrong of course.

I'm not sure it's easier to make your products block communication about Taiwan or Tiananmen Square.

If you have to do political policing one way or the other, you'll have to invest resources to achieve it. On the other hand, maybe it's beneficial for r&d because it pressures you to do hard things that your product benefits from, e.g. controllability in ML-products.

Yeah that makes sense.
