I switched from chatgpt to Perplexity; and now to Kimi K2, after reading an article here explaining that all the fear around some of the Chinese models spying and so on.. is simply not true. I have to say that in my experience Kimi K2 is way better than perplexity. I hope we can get our act together. Seems that building this Ai's requires a level of collaboration that is in opposition to greed.

My default assumption would be that every model is spying (or rather: is being spied on). The data is just way too juicy, every major intelligence agency has to be salivating at the though of getting this degree of insight into people.

Of course with Kimi there is fear because the Chinese government can easily pressure Moonshot AI into sharing the data, and other countries have to work to stealthily siphon data off without being caught by Chinese counterintelligence. As opposed to GPT5 where the American government can easily pressure OpenAI and every other country has to stealthily siphon data off without being caught by American counterintelligence. The only way to be reasonably certain that you aren't spied on is to run your own models or rent GPU time to run models.

The bigger worry imho is whether the models are booby-trapped to give poisoned answers when they detect certain queries or when they detect that you work for a competitor or enemy of China. But that has to be reasonably stealthy to work
