That is understandable. Just don't do it. No need to announce it.

Yeah, I prefer my data to be used and trained by the very trustworthy and benevolent tech oligarchs in my home country.

On some level, it's the lesser of two evils. Both do suck as options, I agree.

The Shanghai government surveillance drones are mobile, whereas the Flock government surveillance cameras are stationary! USA FTW, liberty and justice for all

Also on the front page

"Tennessee man jailed 37 days for Trump meme wins settlement after lawsuit" and "The FBI Wants to Buy Nationwide Access to License Plate Readers"

Gotta love how the US is the bastion of free speech, justice and liberty!

As somebody in Europe, uh, that doesn't leave many options.

Look around for EU LLM routers. There are some, but none are as big as OpenRouter. Still, Cortecs (Austria) is quite good and offers a couple of recent models through its EU-based providers. Zero data retention, GDPR compliant, etc. Really nice.

This is the current European modus operandi: virtue signal and cry about tech that other countries produce, pass local laws that limit its use in their countries even though they have no viable local alternatives, brag amongst themselves about decoupling from US and Chinese tech, and then look on wistfully as the rest of the world moves on without a single fuck given.

Europe's sense of superiority and actual global importance/relevance is assbackwards.

> as the rest of the world moves on without a single fuck given.

Hilarious thing to say when half this comment section is Americans giving so much of a fuck that they consider China-adjacent hosted models unusable due to the supposed risks. If what you were saying was true then those pragmatic Americans would just use whatever is most effective.

Americans have their own frontier models, that's the point. Europeans have quite literally nothing native, so they are forced to choose between the Americans or Chinese, and they dislike both and trust neither.

The Americans can cry about Chinese censorship and turn around and use Claude or Opus or Gemma or whatever, but the Europeans just throw a fit and then have to use one of the two anyway. And that whole crying about something while being completely helpless vis-a-vis doing anything about it is the definition of Europe so far this century. Globally irrelevant outside Germany.
