@ClementDelangue the narrative just upgrades whenever the last one doesn't land. 'open source AI will end the world' → didn't. 'open source AI is a cybersecurity threat' → ok. the conclusion was always fixed.

Weird how some people always target open-source in AI!
First it was:
“Open-source AI will destroy the world” (spoiler: it didn't and it won't)
Now:
“Open-source is a cybersecurity threat because of AI”
Both narratives are far too simplistic.
The truth is that the exact same risks exist in closed-source systems, often even more so. For example, in practice, APIs can create much bigger data and security vulnerabilities than open systems you can inspect, self-host, and secure yourself.
And as with software more broadly, open-source often ends up more secure because it benefits from far more scrutiny than private internal systems.
The reality is not “open vs closed.”
The reality is that AI is raising cybersecurity stakes across the board, and we need to tackle that seriously together.
