All models/data sources are biased - you need to understand inherent biases in any data source.

The first point is a strawman - these models are not going to be used to set foreign policy on Taiwan - it's to write code etc.

Likewise risk of data exfiltration and misuse isn't model specific. Indeed it's not even the biggest data risk - there are much larger risks from the data we know companies like Meta and Google already collect.

Bottom line - a model you can download and run on your own private infrastructure is always going to be safer than anything accessed over the internet - as in that case it's not even just the hosting service that's the issue.
