This is because the users are training the product. They need training data, so they sell inference at the price of power.

And what legal recourse do you have if they don't follow those rules?
windexh8er•7m ago
You have no recourse in the US, either. Trust no one is the only path given all of the training data is stolen in the first place.

It will come to light that one or many of the Frontier providers held the data, changed ToS and trained later minimally. But I think they just don't care and will train regardless. None of them abide by any level of ethics that would actually prevent them from leveraging an opportunity.

ChatGPT (the setting is shared with Codex) and Claude (shared with Claude Code) also have sharing enabled by default, so why aren't they cheaper?

I wonder how much of DeepSeek and Xiaomi's pricing cuts can be traced back to cheap energy in China.
colechristensen•14m ago
In China the state and corporations can blend so it's difficult to tell the difference between the two. It is known for government sponsored dumping to meet some state goal or another.
