Well I don’t have 8xH100s, but if I do, I’m probably not gonna donate it a VC-funded company. Remember “Open”AI?

Very true, but if something similar were run by BOINC, I'd make a stab at contributing.

I don't know the intricacies of their VC deal. But if the data is open and users put in xx amount of compute and then get the model; then where is the possible harm? The trade is done and dealt. You provided some of compute and got it back, right? Unless I am misunderstanding something about their distributed model or not reading the fine prints.
