You can geolocate a user/request based on the IP address. This is common in servers. It allows a server to know which country a request is coming from.

I suspect that this is what OpenAI are doing, as Bing Translate and Google Translate do similar things.

2nd : Because Microsoft is still part of PRISM ?

P.S.: As a reminder, metadata is typically more informative than data.

The illusion of a borderless world has faded. The comfortable notion of "global citizenship" was a fleeting artifact of American dominance. As new realities emerge, the vital concept of state security demands far greater vigilance than in decades past.

This is not jingoism, it's a clear-eyed assessment of our world. In this new reality, we can no longer afford the naivete of sharing our most valuable assets with nations who oppose us.

Yet corporations still embrace this illusion when it comes to, say, operating in those nations. It's a borderless world for them, just not for us.

Why are you conflating the concept of "nation" with that of a "state"? These are two words with different meanings. This just strikes me as meaningless friction to cause domestic arms production.

Warmongers will never cease to monger war, I guess. What you've written is massively jingoistic; yes certain forces seem oddly desperate to talk a war into existence - I guess all those solar panels coming out of CN are disrupting certain money flows on a permanent-looking basis - but the absence of any actual, idk, military buildup will be harder to explain away. Unless you just deepfake the war. Which is probably what will happen.
