alt Hacker NewsOpenAI & Anthropic are deeply in bed with US govt, and they need US govt approval before model releases, and all US Companies under various acts need to share data with the govt.
I mean sure there are investors and a little more open-ness, but with the example of Mythos we don't even know if public will get access to the "good" stuff because it's too dangerous.
If your only opinion on trusting these companies more than one based in China is, they are Chinese then good luck, all the best.

Well, I mean, just as a legal question I'm not allowed to use Chinese software at work, so yeah that's kind of definitive for me

This isn't the case (yet).

The difference is "the various acts" in the US are things that are largely very hard to do, extremely limited in scope, and companies who dispute the government's propriety can (and do) go to court to fight it.
Sure "China bad, US good" is naive, but certainly not more naive than suggesting that companies and individuals have similar rights and protections as each other.
> and they need US govt approval before model releases
This is just not true and it would be a gigantic legal battle to make it true against the model companies' wishes, which is indicative of your entire misunderstanding here.
