I'm not aware of any proven IP theft by American companies in the AI space. Many pending legal challenges. None yet proven.
Alright. So there’s proven IP theft by the Chinese companies with completed legal proceedings?

Ethics of Chinese vs. Western companies? Everything. I'm sure you're aware of how many hundreds of $billions of American IP are stolen by Chinese companies.
I’m not asking broadly about difference in ethics. I’m asking specifically about IP theft in the AI space.
Reminder DeepSeek is a Chinese company whose headstart is attributed to stealing IP from American companies. Without the huge theft, they'd be nowhere.
Can you contrast this with Western companies? What are the Chinese companies stealing that Western companies aren’t? Do you mean tech or content?

> It does 100 interviews, and it’s going to hand back the best 10 to the hiring manager, and then the human takes over,” he says.
Yikes. One thing that's incredibly important about reaching the interview-stage of a job application has been that there is a parity, or even an imbalance favoring the candidate, in human time usage. The company's people (often multiple people at once) have to spend time with the candidate to conduct the interview, so there are stakes for scheduling an interview. The company is investing something into that interaction, so you as a candidate can have some faith that your time is being valued. In the very least, your 45 minute interview is valued at 45*n minutes of company labor for each interviewer.
Admitting right off the bat that you're going to waste the time of 90% of your applicants without these stakes is just wildly disrespectful.

I'd really like to know what type of apps you're actually one-shotting with an AI. Seriously, can you please give me some example code or something because it seems like anything past a trivial program that doesn't actually do what you specified is far beyond their capabilities.
if AI could really one-shot important, interesting apps, shouldn’t we be seeing them everywhere? where’s the surge of new apps that are so trivial to make? who’s hiding all this incredible innovation that can be so easily generated?
Can anyone give me a sense of how much load time this will really save? How much friction is too much?
"It doesn't personally affect me so I don't care."
It absolutely does affect me for disproportionately fraudulent activity to exist on the same system I use for routine payments. I don’t want to subsidize cc abusers with the cc processing fees I implicitly pay.
Why do you think it's fair/acceptable to strongarm niche sectors that want to process credit cards just like everyone else?
Because those sectors are particularly difficult for processors in terms of fraud and abuse. If your niche is so disproportionately problematic that cc companies don’t think it’s worth it to try to make money off you, then you should find a different solution.
