alt Hacker NewsI don’t understand this mentality which I see over and over again on here. It’s not like the US frontier labs are beacons of morality and transparency.
It’s also pretty accepted within this community that a lot of data fed to US tech companies ends up with the Israeli government.
Meanwhile the current US government headed by Donny Tango has done a very thorough job of proving itself to be about as predictable and dependable as a rabid dog on crack.
Throughout the events which have transpired since a certain orange charlatan took office it is objectively true that the Chinese government has portrayed itself as a much more stable and sane entity.
We really need to stop this elitism and recognise the reality.

they are businesses, so respect wishes of customers who give them money, if someone learn they intentionally leak private information, its over for them.
You comparing environment that tries to setup moral boundaries where you have bad actors vs not even lack of morality. Chinas national policy is to destroy everyone’s life using espionage, bribery etc . They frame lack of morality as strength. They will support any war , any crimes , they will bribe any crimes to establish their dominance.
Examples ? Hungary , Austria, Canada, half of the Africa , war in Ukraine , Belarus , North Korea , Iran you name it . They will fund any sick sycophantic government if they let them build their plants .
They will use llms as a way to extend their power for sure .
It’s really about incentives more than morals. I know that, being in the US, if Anthropic steals my company’s trade secrets through model inputs contrary to our policy that I will (in theory) have legal standing and enforceable contracts against them. The same is not true against DeepSeek, and especially not against “Stealth”.
