I mean it's entirely a personal decision. I didn't mean to come across judgemental, if anyone uses the frontier models I don't hold it against them. But for me personally I am very against the frontier labs in general. This technology is too powerful to not be at least open weights, but preferably open source.

I also differentiate using their tech and paying them money. I don't think using their models, or perhaps using models derived from them as inherently evil. I just do not want to actually contribute to their bottom line in any way. Even if that means a slower ramp up of AI in general. In my opinion we could move slower.

I understand Nvidia is working with the labs to assist them to buy more hardware through financing and other deals. But ultimately I do not view that as the same as contributing directly to their P&L.
