Dan Jeffries defends open models with a magic-glasses analogy: AI can be used for attack or defense, and if you had glasses showing which buildings will fall, you'd fix the buildings rather than smash the glasses. He calls open models "your last line of defense" and says anyone trying to take them away is the enemy — a pointed response to open-source restriction proposals.
