    As an earlier post pointed out - the Ai industry stole everything with the support of the government at our expense. The point is moot.

    If the Chinese theft benefits us as consumers then they are the Robin Hood of computation hardware. The good guys.

    They didn't steal from "us". They stole from the billionaires. I'm fine with it.

    Yah I used to be on the "China steals" bandwagon, back when it had weight but now it doesn't matter, even when it come to Chinas genocide of the ueagers, America is helping cause gaza with isreal not to mention what its doing to Cuba. America is no better then China now in my eyes.

    Yeah, I'm with you on this. China has been a much more responsible member of the international community than the US. I strongly disagree with what China is doing with regard to Taiwan, the South China Sea, and suppression of free expression, but otherwise they're the lesser of two evils.

    The concept of IP is theft to begin with. No technology arises from a vacuum, it is all built on the collective efforts of humanity through the ages. The fact that some billionaire can claim ownership over an idea is a moral failing of capitalism.

    Yeah, I generally agree with you. Just seems unfair that China gets to reap the rewards for the efforts of people working elsewhere. The fact that billionaires just pocket all the rewards anyway makes that point a bit moot.

    As a member of the working class, I don't particularly mind if a socialist country reaps the rewards of my work. Also, it's not like IP is a zero-sum game, and that an idea put into use in one place means it can't be put into use in another. It's like ancient Babylon getting mad at Sumeria for putting seeds into the ground.
