Thoughts on "Open" Models: The debate focuses on balancing open and closed models, with cost and geopolitical considerations influencing the push for open weight AI.

Using security as a convenient tool to sideline foreign competition is a slippery slope, especially from companies that built their own success on open research.

That is indeed an important distinction. However, I expect that it will be a very long time before we see any competitive open-source AI.

That’s either incredibly idealistic or a very smart strategy: Open models grow ecosystems faster than walled gardens, but compute still decides who gets to play at the highest level. If AGI really becomes shared infrastructure, the moat shifts from models to chips, data and execution.

It was just as you’d expect: This isn’t an AI problem! It’s the same human problem we’ve always had: misconfigurations, weak security, and avoidable mistakes. AI just punishes those errors faster and more effectively than traditional software ever could. Anyone who continues to rest will be severely punished.

Paying a ransom doesn’t buy trust: It buys hope from people who have already proven they’re willing to extort you! If criminals learn that victims pay, asking for a second ransom isn’t a betrayal of the deal. It’s just the next logical business decision. 🤷

If you pay a hacker’s ransom, chances are that they’ll come back for more

Funny how AI suddenly becomes sacred intellectual property only when someone else catches up. If the evidence is real, enforce the rules. If it is not, this risks looking less like protecting innovation and more like protecting market leaders from uncomfortable competition.
