The difference, of course, is that the US administration publicly owned up to this tragic mistake, bitterly regrets it and wants to avoid it again in future. Compare and contrast with the CCP, with its ongoing and deliberate human rights abuses (from Tiananmen Square to the Uyghur Concentration Camps). China's regime prefers secrecy and history erasure.

Altman is definitely very Trump-aligned, which to me is enough to not trust his company on data security. But also, there have been many many accusations that they potentially spy on users. E.g. stealing proofs from mathematicians and such.

It's just not worth it to me. And the way the US government is increasingly using data it collects to attack people who simply say bad things about it, there is no reason to doubt that such Trump-aligned companies would help ex-filtrate data.

I have fewer issues with Antropic, but also, from a business standpoint it's too much of a risk. Who knows, maybe the next tariff will be on software, maybe he'll ban random companies from using US AI. Too unpredictable and too risky.

I read some of the Constitution but couldn't get through the whole doc. Seems mostly aimed at making Claude helpful and safe. Out of sincere interest, what's in there that troubles you?

I kinda agree with you that Sam Altman is a shifty-looking character with some questionable history. But Dario and Elon (to me at least), seem very decent. They've both helped the US govt and also publicly challenged and criticised it where necessary. For example, Elon was invited to be on Trump's first panel of experts, but he publicly walked out in protest over Trump's minimisation of climate change. And Dario refused to work with the US military unless they promised no population surveillance and automated killing machines.
