What if, and bear with me, strong AI poses real dangers and open sourcing extremely powerful models to everyone (including malicious actors and dictatorial governments) would actually harm humanity more than it benefits it?

And now its restricted to only the malicious actors and dictatorial goverments that can buy it!

This is exactly the defense I kind of expect them to use when AGI finally is realized (whether or not it ends up true).

"Oh, we said we're open but this is too dangerous to publicly release; we'll be licensing it exclusively to approved customers instead."

I'm really glad that weapons aren't open source. Imagine every dictatorship would get their hands on weapons. Luckily, it's hidden behind a paywall. /s
