> The open weights proponents seem to think of ai as a utility when it’s more like a utility that also is a tank
You could say the same about normal computers. Where are our regulations on Kali Linux, to prevent people from bruteforcing weak WPA passwords?
The single most-pressing concern with AI is that it can accelerate the process of hacking things. This is a preexisting problem that is inherent to software and needs proper addressing. Even if we regulate open weights tomorrow, people still have uncensored GLM-5 finetunes doing whatever they want on their own hardware. The "what if" of capable open models is here today, there are no guardrails.

Brute forcing WPA isn’t an existential threat to humanity. It’s not like a biological weapon created using an open-weight model is less dangerous than if it had been created with a proprietary model.
Why does GLM-5 already being in the wild make you think caution about a hypothetical GLM-6 is unwarranted? It seems like you’re saying “there’s no reason to worry about preventing a problem from getting worse if you already have a mild case of the problem”
