Beff Jezos: Only frontier labs out-accelerating open source can secure systems
beffjezos · x · 2026-10-23
Responding to @Suhail's point that an abliterated open-weight DeepSeek V4.1 makes KYC friction on frontier cyber capabilities pointless—and even harmful to US national security—e/acc figurehead Beff Jezos doubles down: legislation won't stop black-hat hackers, and the only viable defense is frontier labs out-accelerating open source. He frames this as "security through multipartite adversarial non-equilibrium steady state," a signature accelerationist take on the AI security debate.
