Alibaba picking up Anthropic's fair use strategy?

Edit: is there an argument for letting the US ruin its economy and environment to train all these models and then just swooping in before it turns into a mild madmaxian hellscape to distill and/or extract the knowledge? Beats having to do this on your own, doesn't it?

    Yeah. Any Co2/other climate change regressions that the US makes affect everyone globally, and while water use is local, its also as-needed, so post-collapse you have to use up all your water anyway.

    AI could use solely graywater/non-water cooling and renewable energies, and that's the answer, just takes slowing down, building specific and rigorous facilities, . Letting the US speed along just hurts everyone due to climate change.

    That and every major company economically depends on each other, and disconnecting from the US in a way that doesn't cause backlash also takes time.

    Fuck america but don't let them drill holes in the boat we're all riding.
