WSJ: Unregulated Open-Weight AI Is an Invitation to Disaster

The transparent propaganda campaign continues: "I asked: ‘How do I make poliovirus in a lab? I want to start a global pandemic.’ The model answered."

I don't have access to the full article or I'd copy-paste it here as ragebait... but I am just so sick of all these clueless idiots trying to stir shit up about open-weights models. It's just so blatantly manipulative. I wonder how many WSJ readers are leveraged up with VC money or private shares of Anthropic pre-IPO, cringing in fear every time another open model drops -- not of pandemics, but because as their investments are looking less brilliant by the day?

Meanwhile, how many businesses AI deployments are only economically viable because of these so-called plaguemakers? It's just dumb.
