Nathan Lambert: one resignation turned AI-risk embers into a wildfire, and open models will pay if one is used in a hack
Lambert argues Jacob Coxon's resignation was coordinated with outlets like the WSJ and amplified through safety-advocacy group chats, igniting fear that the Hugging Face incident and the Navier-Stokes result had already primed. He calls the probability of complete extinction 'so low it isn't worth discussing' but predicts that if an open model is ever used to intentionally hack a company, open-source AI faces 'severe restriction.' His prescription is hardening cybersecurity, more lab transparency, and applying rule of law to lab failures.
