American society has higher wages than almost any other developed nation [1], so it's objectively incorrect to say the US doesn't have good wages. It chooses to make you pay for private childcare and healthcare, both of which are high-quality but stupid expensive. It's a tradeoff like anything else a nation/society creates and prioritizes.

No idea how that connects to the idea that Mistral or DeepSeek are somehow the "good guys" though?

You want Anthropic to fund your healthcare or something? Also, have you seen the impact of these models on healthcare? Also most of our GDP growth this year is from AI buildouts, would you rather that be negative?

And not even considering: Chinese AI companies are the good guys???

None of the money being spent by Anthropic was going to go towards healthcare or childcare.
