Ah, the position they don't state. So why respond to this press-release, which doesn't state that, since obviously it adds zero value? And why aren't the companies that signed the letter supporting open-weights, who have the same motivations, also lying? Since what they say isn't important, just what you say they say.
On your second point. Everything fine (so far), so nothing bad will happen. Except, you say something bad will happen, and has happened, with HuggingFace as the example.
You say that example shows closed weight models can't be controlled. But what happened there is OpenAI turned it off after their incompetently long discovery period. If it was an open-weight model, the clear next step would have been someone deciding to use it to pursue a goal, for example getting some money or creating some chaos, and there would have been no one to turn it off.
It's totally incompetent of OpenAI to have been unable to detect and disable in a shorter time period, but you know what's worse? You do know what's worse, right?
