In my opinion, it’s reasonable to change which companies you want to do business with, but it would be more helpful to write letters to politicians in favor of reasonable AI regulation (e.g. SB 1047, with suggested amendments if you have concerns about the current draft). I think it’s bad if the public has to play the game of trying to pick which AI developer seems the most responsible, better to try to change the rules of the game so that isn’t necessary.
Also it’s generally helpful to write about which labs seem more responsible/less responsible (which you are doing here), what you think labs should do instead of current practices. Bonus points for designing ways to test which deployed models are more safe and reliable, e.g. writing some prompts to use as litmus tests.
