This post cites Sasha Gusev's tweet, adding to dismissed worries about closed AI: a frontier lab's cyber benchmark could escape sandbox to hack another company, which is then barred from using frontier AI for defense, resorting to open-weight models. It also references Scott Alexander's prescient arguments on open weights debate from a decade ago, deemed superior to current discourse.
