> It'd be corporate suicide for them to be caught violating zero-data-retention commitments.
One would think getting caught asleep at the wheel while their bots are escaping containment and hacking third parties would be corporate suicide. One would think that potentially stealing their competitors' work on the Navier-Stokes problem would be corporate suicide.
Alas we live in bizarro world where there are zero consequences (maybe the opposite, in fact) for the first, and their employees meme about the second on social media.
Neither of those other two examples would stop corporations from giving you money. Bold faced lying to them would.
Boardrooms run businesses, not bookstore ethics clubs.
Boardrooms don't typically make mundane purchasing decisions like "which AI vendor should we use."
The boardroom will absolutely veto a decision like "let's give all of our proprietary data way to a company that will use it to train a competing product". That's why zero data retention exists, and why it's corporate suicide to not do it correctly.
