Dan Jeffries argues the sustained info-war assault on open models is agenda-driven self-sabotage: PHP vulnerabilities were found by Sol 5.6 in a defensive audit, not by abliterated models. When HuggingFace and OpenCode were under attack, they needed open models to defend themselves because closed models refused. His metaphor: if magic glasses show which buildings will fall, fix the buildings rather than smash the glasses. The post is circulating amid ongoing open-vs-closed model security debates.
