Bohoo! Pot! Kettle! Black!!!
They’re ripping off our plagiarism machine!!
So stop developing for China to steal. Make them develop it and steal it from them instead.
They take our water, our power, our data, our intellectual property, and our politicians, and sell them back to us as tokens.
Of course they would steal the very meaning of “fairness” and monetize it.
At what point do AI tokens morph into crypto tokens? The ouroboros of bitcoin mining, GPUs, and commerce.
IBM is almost there, with its BobCoins: https://bob.ibm.com/docs/ide/account/bobcoins
Oh boo hoo
AI copied everyone else’s work and now it wants to cry about copying. Sucks to suck.

You’d think that something that can be copied that easily by your competitors , wouldn’t be valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
It’s sort of the problem akin to robbing Ft. Knox. Most people just don’t have a bag big enough to carry it all away. The Chinese economy is one of the few big enough to support the kind of multi-billion dollar data centers that can accumulate and process data at scale.
But even beyond that, a lot of the modern underlying technology for AI is in the process of relating the data and inferring the resulting answer. Where Altman’s whiners want to claim theft is in the raw data they’ve (illegally) scraped and compiled. Where Chinese firms have innovated is in the speed and accuracy of aggregating the data and returning useful results.
One reason why Altman keeps saying he needs another trillion dollars for hardware and electricity is that his models are shit and his approach is largely brute-force. His overseas rivals - DeepSeek, Moonshot, Stepfun, etc - have invested far more in the actual logical design of their systems. The end result is the kind of video rendering that rendered Sora obsolete almost as soon as it was released. And the kind of advanced coding that’s scaring the shit out of the engineers at Claude and Gemini.
Ft. Knox
Did anyone ever go in there and show the gold? I thought someone campaigned with that as a promise.
Famously, in 1974
There’s a ton of pictures from that visit, as well.
“How dare you steal what we already stole.”
Thaughts and prayers
