Even if they win against openAI, how would this prevent something like a Chinese or Russian LLM from “stealing” their content and making their own superior LLM that isnt weakened by regulation like the ones in the United States.

And I say this as someone that is extremely bothered by how easily mass amounts of open content can just be vacuumed up into a training set with reckless abandon and there isn’t much you can do other than put everything you create behind some kind of authentication wall but even then it’s only a matter of time until it leaks anyway.

Pandora’s box is really open, we need to figure out how to live in a world with these systems because it’s an un winnable arms race where only bad actors will benefit from everyone else being neutered by regulation. Especially with the massive pace of open source innovation in this space.

We’re in a “mutually assured destruction” situation now, but instead of bombs the weapon is information.

What's the actionable advice here? US regulation should be the lowest common denominator of all countries one considers in competition? Certainly Chinese and Russian LLMs could vacuum up all the information. China already cares little about copyright and trademark, should they stop being enforced in the US?

My opinion is that the US should do things that are consistent with their laws. I don't think a Chinese or Russian LLM is much of a concern in terms of this specific aspect, because if they want to operate in the US they still need to operate legally in the US.
