To get into your accounts, mess with your finances, disrupt your business, leak customer data, reveal personal information, etc?

Well however much you thought about it before, you should think a lot more about it now.

Unrestricted open source models are going to be as good as Sol / Mythos / Astra within 3-12 months, and that's basically going to be a Thanos Gauntlet situation.
