Now The Bad Guys Have AI As Powerful As Mythos (and they will let you use it free NO KILL SWITCH)

Unlike the good guys models the Zhipu's GLM-5.2 is open-weight, that is, the bad guys made their model free to use by anyone who has the hardware and the know-how.
NO KILL SWITCH!!!
NO SUPERVISION!!!
UNFETTTTERED ACCESS!!!
What do you think of this, will it change anything in the low end?
As it can be taken freely I'm sure that the smaller bad guys will want to use it too in their nefarious actions so I wonder, will this translate into more business for LET providers?

I don't really follow this but who are those supposed good guys that heroically safeguard mankind? I don't think they exist, so i guess it'll just even the playing field. As much as i don't like AI it is what it is and i can't bring myself to care that much.
GLM-5.2 seems more around Opus level than Mythos/Fable level. Still very impressive, and it shows that the open models are always just a matter of months behind closed ones.
I don't like AI either, most of it is just hype anyway. However, this is different because these models excel at finding bugs in code and that will have an impact on you whether you like it or not. You can ignore the hype but you cannot ignore this.
Well, those bugs would be found sooner or later anyways and the good guys keeping a thumb on it basically just means giving the CIA a head start. Finding + patching is the only solution.
Why?
One potential very bad side effect of this is hardware getting even more expensive because now the only the only way the good guys have to stop you from using these models is by starving you of hardware.
They once believed they could simply restrict their models to stop you from accessing theses models but now they know their only option is to make hardware so expensive that scarcity will take care of stopping you.
