Sir, given what's happening in the world these days, I cannot really tell which nation you meant by your statement :D

doubt Trump would accept that pronoun

mmm by that definition, which market is truly free market again? I'm not sure you can find one tbh

and that action is perfectly fine. But it is then hypocritic to claim one is more justified than the other

For some reason I read "edible games" and was super duper curious...

> In the digital age, almost impossible. Documentation, process automation, and knowledge transfer mitigate this risk.

Are you sure you really work at AWS? Dude, how often do you realize the documentation is not sufficient and you have to dig through people's brain to actually get the nuances, that is, lucky enough they are still around? lolll

Oh this post...calling out DeepSeek's T&C but not comparing it with OpenAI's is really disingenuous IMO.

OpenAI shocked that an AI company would train on someone else's data without permission or compensation...lolllllll

I would not be super surprised if they intend to do, but I felt that's going to be very hard to implement. The censorship very likely comes from another layer.

There's a thing called "local laws and regulations" that you need to comply with to be able to operate in China. It's plain and simple - without this level of limitation, once the model is viral it will be on the radar and then censorship will apply anyway. May as well implement that from the beginning. So I don't believe CCP is actively "involved" in this, but rather the laws impacted the behavior of the company.

Microsoft apply censorship to Bing search results in China. It doesn't mean they are controlled by CCP. They just got impacted by law and they want to keep operate in China.

| meet the interests of the majority of people

I wonder how do you know "the interests of the majority of people" is to ban Tiktok...

Back in the early stage of social media, US companies had the choice to operate in China as long as they comply with the censorship and local laws. Had they chosen not to quit China market at the point, they would have been probably huge in China holding major access over Chinese users too. (How would Chinese government react to that is something we never get to see now...)

I keep seeing argument regarding "China bans social medias from other countries". It's not an outright ban saying that "Facebook cannot operate in China", but more like "Comply with the censorship rules or you cannot operate in China". It's not targeting "ownership" or "nation states". e.g. Google chose to leave, while Microsoft continues to operate Bing in China.

Please do not plan based on anyone's goodwill only, especially in this one you have such a high stake. I'd at least consult a lawyer at this point, even if it means you don't take any legal action.

$7.25 minimum wage per hour at fed level. 40 hour per week and 50 working week you have 14,500 USD, or 105K RMB roughly based on exchange rate today.

105K RMB yearly is close to or above average even in the above cities.

for some state the minimum wage can be $15 or higher, this is wayyyy better than China.

You are likely right the code is not audited, or deployment is not verified. This is a design-level review.

You are inaccurate on "they only interviewed engineers". There are document reviews as well which covers design and architectures.

Source of the report on methodology shared such information.
