Nathan Lambert: Reid Hoffman's Clip Overstates How Dangerous Open Models Are

Nathan Lambert responded to a clip of Reid Hoffman discussing open models, arguing that Reid is actually fairly reasonable about open models and the clip misrepresents his stance.
The original post noted Reid was framing things for a general audience, but in a way that makes open source appear far more dangerous. The simplest explanations of AI are often the scariest, while the real world is messy.
