It’s not the fault of US companies that third world cannot invent their own competetive ideas.
Get better or get lost.

I really hope you're being sarcastic:
> some guy in India
Aren't they bilingual in English?
> the third world
Isn't there a second world as well?
> Why would American LLMs support Chinese
Aren't there American companies that want to use LLMs for translation tasks or to provide their LLM-powered services in other languages? Spanish anyone?
Ban any language other than English from prompting.
This has multiple benefits - first you restrict third world from spamming USA data centers. Why would America pay for some guy in India using free model?
This alone is worth considering but also you can optimise LLMs further for a single language as opposed to having to translate and couple weights for every single concept.
Why would American LLMs support Chinese language or Arabic? Make them learn English and come to work for us.
