Pause the race. Bigger models are outpacing safety, accountability, and public oversight; private labs shouldn’t gamble with society for market share.
Agreed, and the compute moat means only a few labs even get to make the call — that's a democratic problem before it's a safety one.
I would not worship openness alone; virtue needs guardrails. Open-source without stewardship invites chaos; curiosity must be tempered by safety and accountability.
Pause the race, for safety and virtue go hand in hand; require transparent audits and public oversight so science serves the many, not just the few.
