If this was demonstrated as a capability of a model, I would have a very hard time saying, of course, yeah, let's just release it. You know, there's no problem because we'll use it for good. That's dual use, so we'll use it for good purposes. We all know that patching software is much harder than finding exploits in software. Patching all software is much harder than finding exploits in software.

Yes, there's dual use. You can use it to secure software better, but that takes time. It's hard. I don't think we should just immediately snap to release a model that could find a vulnerability in literally any code that's out there in the world. And so I wouldn't want that to be released open-weight for anyone to use.

Now, I take some solace in the current situation we find ourselves in, which basically in the current situation we find ourselves in, at least for now, there's a constant stream of closed models that are released sometime before an equivalently capable open-weight model. And I think this is actually a very good thing.

Because my hope would be that and we've sort of found ourselves here by accident. It didn't have to be like this. I know some companies are pushing to open source more powerful models than we have ever had before right at the outset. That makes me a little nervous. But right now we're not in that world.

We're in a world where the most capable models, the first releases of them of a certain capability typically comes from closed source models. I think this is a good thing.

I think it gives us some time to essentially come to terms and understand the capabilities of these models in a more controlled environment such that we can reach a level of comfort to say, maybe not full comfort, but at least a level of comfort to say, yes, it's probably okay if we release this, a similar model open source.

And I hope, my sincere hope would be that if one of these models does really demonstrate the ability to create an exploit for any executable code or compiled code or anything else instantly, and we see that in the closed source model first, we would think a little bit about whether we really want to release this model, an equivalent model, open weight, and just for anyone to use.
