Of course they are paying them. That’s not my point. My point is this is the only way for them to gain market share and they need Western users to train future models. They have to give them away. I’d be shocked if compute costs are not heavily subsidized by CCP.
But the CCP only has access to the US market because they joined the WTO, but when they joined the WTO they signed a treaty that they wouldn't do things like that.
