I doubt this is really true. Like, maybe there is model proving but I doubt it’s really a campaign to steal American know-how.

OpenAI and Google and the gang are making these claims to push the narrative that they represent technology of great importance, of national security importance, and that there is a “race to master AI” versus China.

You don’t see similar rhetoric in China. In fact you don’t even really see Chinese companies talking about the singularity-type nonsense that the US grifters push.

At most in China they talk about “general-purpose AI” which is a different concept to “Artifical General Intelligence”.

OpenAI want the US to shovel them hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars and part of that grift is pretending this is the battlefield of the new Cold War.

China mostly open sources their models still, whereas these US companies are keeping their models proprietary. It is the US that is treating this as a secretive cloak-and-dagger game. The Chinese are giving it to you for free and frequently superseding US models anyway.
