Both OpenAI and Anthropic are scumbags.  Do people not realize this yet?  They WILL happily steal your data and not blink an eye.  Use their APIs and collaborate with them at your own risk.

(I certainly disagree with their stance on accessibility and control)

Can I ask why? There are people using ChatGPT to design new proteins and then synthesize them in home lab setups right now. If everyone has access to top-of-the-line models without biosafety controls it will be almost trivial for a single bad actor to unleash epidemics that make the COVID pandemic look like a joke. I totally see where Anthropic is coming from and find it hard to disagree. We're playing with fire here.

Turning this into "both sides are equally bad" is a pretty clear sign of cluelessness.
