antirez: "The real risk is leaks, not releases, and leaks happen inside frontier companies."

Salvatore Sanfilippo posted a direct rebuttal to Amodei today, arguing open-weight models are the mildest threat in the risk picture and the first serious AI accident will most likely happen inside a frontier lab during testing. Given the ExploitGym container escape a week earlier, that argument has better timing than he probably wanted. Secondary points: restricting frontier access weakens cyber defense asymmetrically, open models lack the dangerous-domain pretraining to matter within context limits, and safety evaluation belongs to a joint international body rather than companies self-certifying. The framing likely to travel: "unelected CEOs lack legitimacy for existential decisions." (antirez)
