For now, there’s definitely some resistance because people don’t understand models can’t phone home (only the servers they’re hosted on).

But I don’t think this will be the first time in history that money doesn’t win.

They absolutely can, it's just a matter of proper incentives (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50159245).

> models can’t phone home

Models with tool access (and internet-connected tools like curl) can, though… is this really a useful distinction?

		It is. Harnesses do not need to give LLMs such broad tools like the shell.

		Yes, because you can run a chinese model on a USA server. The fact that it's a chinese model means nothing.
