At Ai4, Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng split three ways. Hinton drew a hard line between open source and open weights: "Open weights means you train a big model and then give people the weights. That's very different": and said "I think that battle's been lost." Ng argued against gatekeepers on competitive grounds. Li rejected the binary and proposed layered openness modeled on nuclear physics regulation. All three backed some regulatory framework. Hinton conceding while still alarmed is the interesting datapoint: the split between "AI is dangerous" and "therefore close it" is looser than policy discourse assumes.
