> State actors, professional criminals will have same or better capabilities

State actors do but they are not unhinged enough to use this to cause massive loss of life, unlike random crazy people with access to a computer.

Professional criminals don't have access. Please explain exactly how you expect a professional criminal to get access to a non-safety-tuned Astra/Fable equivalent.

> OSS models can help to fix infra

You can work with the vendors of critical software to fix infra first, without giving every random crazy person access to something that creates cyber/bioweapons.

> "people dying and furry fanfics" is a scarecrow

You don't think people will die if OSS models make it easy to create a bioweapon, or make it easy to hack hospitals, infrastructure, and the like? Please explain your thinking.

It's very easy to order all of the raw material needed to create a virus, the challenge is in making a viable one. But models make this easy.

Same for cyber. Hospitals, emergency services, and infrastructure like power plants are not sufficiently hardened to withstand an attack from Fable-class models.
