I am glad you atleast recognise the benefits of open source.
My preference order is:
For capabilities of AI labs: Ban AI > Open source AI > Closed source AI
For values and decision-making processes of people running AI labs: Open source (i.e. publicly publish) everything
As you say, I think open source today will atleast help build the proof required to convince everyone to ban tomorrow.
I think we should go further, and instead of hoping a benevolent leader to livestream the lab by choice, we should incentivise whistleblowers and cyberattackers to get the data out by any means necessary.
