I can't bring myself to use any model that trains or sends telemetry back to my country's primary competitor/adversary. I don't care how much money is saved.

That is understandable. Just don't do it. No need to announce it.
assuming that country is the united states, why not? seems like an honourable thing to do if anything, lol
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.
As somebody in Europe, uh, that doesn't leave many options.
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.
