Your comment really highlights the absurdity of having a one-size-fits-all policy across the whole labour market.

But ultimately I don't think it is labour laws that made it so that OpenAI is American and ChatGPT was developed in the US. That is just one aspect of a much bigger picture.

It’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem I would say: labour laws set (or reflect) the broader workplace culture. In a culture where it doesn’t pay (or is even frowned upon) to be a top performer it’s very hard to build the OpenAI kind of org.
