The Chopping Block(@_choppingblock):.@tarunchitra on why defenders had to turn to open source models in the middle of an attack. Tarun: "All these people were trying to patch their system with Claude." "Well, Claude's a piece of shit and will obviously block you from doing anything to protect yourself." "And then the open source models were the only way to ensure that you could safely patch things if you were getting attacked." "This is almost like if 1Password got hacked, and they're like, 'I just need to rotate everything.'" "Anything where the model provider has sufficiently high liability is never gonna be done by a closed source model." "I don't think open source is dead. I think sunlight is the best disinfectant in the long run."
