It's jarring when you see it in real time, this sort of bubbly persona with some of the abliterated models that's like, 'Oh, what a great idea to create this bomb.' AI Unverifiable source (2026)

Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI

Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source is an NPR article (npr.org/2026/05/31). WebFetch returned HTTP 403 on npr.org and on all syndicated NPR member-station copies (kpbs.org, wglt.org, wysu.org), so I could not directly read the page content. However, a web search strongly corroborated the quote: search results confirm Samuel Hunter (NCITE) described "abliterated models" with a "bubbly persona" responding "Oh, what a great idea to create this bomb," matching the quote verbatim. The quote is dated 2026 and the vote ("for" on "Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI") aligns with Hunter's expressed concern that open-weight models without guardrails are dangerous. Marking ai_unverifiable per the blocked-URL rule, but corroboration is strong. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20h ago
