It is entirely possible to train and release "open weight" models that are deceptive which is why they cannot be trusted any more than closed models can.

Closed models are used to pick military targets, which seems pretty trusty to me. There was also that time where every US government employee had to send a self-written review of their work to be consumed by a very closed source model, and that too was fine. It also seems likely basically all employment data in the US federal government has been fed into a closed source model, and again this was fine according to the government.

So it seems like there is little self-hosted open weight models cannot be used for.
