My conspiracy theory is that this is the new space race, and the CCP encourages this to show the world what Chinese engineers are capable of, and tank the Anthropic/OpenAI valuation bubble as a desirable side effect.

Half of the engineers at OAI and Anthropic are Asian, I don't think China does all these for signaling.

I was not trying to make that kind of argument, but rather a geopolitical one.

Retaining world-class talent and home-growing industries is no small feat. In Europe, we have been struggling with this, and I am not even entirely sure why.

A lot of world-class talent do not want to pay 50-60% taxes, so they move somewhere else. Not everyone, I'm just saying, it was a genuine consideration for me.

Well, no, they're not aligned with our interests therefore we're concerned with their mastery here. You have the clause the wrong way around.
