I care about principles, specifically the good ones related to individual freedom, privacy, these kinds of things" "If Chinese models better express those principles, then I care more about the Chinese models than I do about the American models" "I don't think America deserves to win anything if it simply closes down markets so others can't compete with it, or if it puts in regulations that require the ability to watch everyone's inference feeds" "America is going down a pretty dark dystopian path of trying to control everyone"
