Why is the race of the people working there an issue?
I understand why some people want to differentiate between models from chinese companies and us companies and eu companies etc, because that is about control over the company. The us or chinese gov could, for example, make it difficult for canadians using a model under their control. Even with open weight, these could be weaponized to some degree. Arguably that gov control can also manifest in the model's behaviour, but since I'm mostly using them for agentic coding not political advice I don't really care about that.
But the race of the workers making this stuff... I'm not less concerned about a model made by americans working for a chinese lab than a model made by chinese people working for a chinese lab. If the race of the people building the model matters to you, why?
