he gonna drop it, since it's a main stream thing now and it did hit hn :D.

It happened already few years back with ARM, where executive (ceo ?) went rogue, split and stole bunch of IP.

The question now what the Netherlands gonna do about and it, and in a bigger picture the EU.

I suspect the US when they pushed the Netherlands to do this, the knew it would end up like in this situation, and defacto would make the EU "choose" a side.

This not similar at all.

A singular CEO refusing to be ousted is not the same as workers rebelling against foreign nation nationalizing your company for geopolitical reasons.

Just the terms of doing business in the Netherlands. Much more generous to allow Chinese ownership in the first place. Something China does not allow.

I learned Turbo Pascal in high school (early 2000), once in college I had to learn java yikes.

I remember when I learned Java after TP. I went to team's Java go for guy and asked "how do I declare a global variable?". His response of "there is no such thing, everything is a class" was the start of my hatred towards Java. It only grew from there :)

So 'pirating' stuff for personal use is bad, but if it's for corp use and benefits than it's good.

In America, I see the main argument in support of the destruction of norms for AI corporations and copyright theft is as follows. "If we adhere to standard views of copyright, then we will be disadvantaged in the race to super-intelligence against China."

I really think this argument is baseless, however, because there's absolutely no reason to think if Chinese corporations make some paradigm shifting advancement in AI then American corporations won't quickly copy it, just as Chinese corporations VERY quickly caught up to GPT 3. Is less than 1 year of economic advantage really worth the permanent erasure of norms like copyright and privacy?

In USA? Correct (unfortunately)

I guess US, but not only. I am eluding to the whole AI thing, instead of using it as a platform to improve human condition and not only profit financially, we do have 'Step mom' and 'Russian girl' bots built on top of 'pirated' content.

We are fucked.

the problem that you speak of exist literally everywhere (from public (lowest) to private sector (highest)).

Making fixation on research, academia and science is typical retard behavior. As functioning society (human in general) WE should have ZERO tolerance toward this behavior and RFK Jr kinds should be ignored, he doesn't deserve to be heard, he have ZERO qualification whatsoever (same goes to 90% of this administration).

not to mention languagetool
