The quote clearly opposes the statement: it says open-source AI is "more secure" because the public can audit it and find/remediate exploits, which implies the author does not believe open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI.

The quote says open-source AI "allows the public to audit and verify algorithms" and "is also more secure," which clearly pushes against the claim that it is more dangerous.

The TheOutpost page dated 2025-02-21 contains this wording and attributes it to Travis Oliphant; a same-day PRNewswire release carries the same quote in fuller form, so the stored text is a faithful excerpt with an allowed omission, not a misattribution.

Disputed: the wording is real, but it is not Tyler Lindholm’s quote. The source URL attributes that statement to Travis Oliphant, while Tyler Lindholm is quoted separately about proprietary AI contracts. ([theoutpost.ai](https://theoutpost.ai/news-story/open-source-ai-foundation-launches-10-million-campaign-for-government-ai-transparency-12274/)) A primary-source PR Newswire release dated February 21, 2025 gives the fuller version and also attributes it to Travis Oliphant, not Lindholm. ([prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/open-source-ai-foundation-o-saif-launched-to-fight-for-transparency-and-accountability-in-civilian-government-ai-contracts-302382045.html))

The quote is misattributed to Tyler Lindholm. The actual speaker is Travis Oliphant (CEO of Quansight, Founder of OpenTeams and Anaconda, Creator of NumPy and SciPy), who is a co-founder of O-SAIF alongside Lindholm. The full quote from the O-SAIF launch press release (Feb 21, 2025) reads: "Open-source AI allows the public to audit and verify algorithms, enhancing trust in government technology. It is also more secure because any attacks or exploits can be identified and remediated, while the models and their training can be audited to minimize bias." — attributed to Travis Oliphant. Tyler Lindholm is the O-SAIF Director and a former Wyoming legislator (the biography matches him), but he did not say this particular quote. The vote direction ("against" the statement that open-source AI is more dangerous) is correct in substance, but the author is wrong — quote should be re-attributed to Travis Oliphant.
