In the battle between "the world's great autocracy" and "the world's greatest democracy" - China and America - China is "doing more to democratise the technology they're competing over". > The Stanford report also suggested China's success in developing open-source models could be partly explained by government support.

Is that really rigorous analysis? Isn't the US government investing a shit ton in enabling a wide range of AI business models? Energy, regulatory, adoption, etc. I don't buy the thesis of the article.
