I'd imagine there's a wide spectrum between "release the latest model immediately to everyone with no idea what it's capable of" and OpenAI's apparent "release the model (or increasingly, any information about it) literally never, not even when it's long been left in the dust".
However, given the capacity for some of the more capable downloadable models to enable automation of fraud, I am not convinced OpenAI is incorrect here.
If OpenAI and Facebook both get sued out of existence due to their models being used for fraud and them being deemed liable for that fraud, the OpenAI models become unavailable, the Facebook models remain circulating forever
