The only thing they care to enforce is their market share

Nah they can only enforce whatever they want in the US, China, Japan, EU or India won't care about US licenses and someone else will disrupt.

Historically, this kind of legislation gets extended internationally as a condition for trade agreements, as was the case for copyright.

That seems to be ignoring history:

Major established powers have repeatedly tried to do that… and then been overtaken by people who didn’t follow the rules.

Eg, the US and China or previously the UK and US.

One of those examples predates globalization, and the other hasn't happened yet.

Interesting take considering Sam Altman has no equity in OpenAI and doesn't receive a salary and he's the one up there saying this.

If you're worried about this, check out neo.tax (https://www.neo.tax/). They are one of the few companies that anticipated this and built a product to solve it.

Disclaimer: I work with startups as a consultant (not on optimizing their tax burden).

I know of two companies that used neotax and they were happy with the results.

What I don't know is if there is there anyone else in the space or some of the disadvantages of neotax. But... if you're an exec at a small -> medium size startup and you haven't dealt with this yet you could do a lot worse than giving these guys a call.
