In regards to the open source models, while it makes sense that if a developer takes the model and does a significant portion of the fine tuning, they should be liable for the result of that...

This kind of goes against the model that open source has operated on for a long time, as providing source doesn't represent liability. So providing a fine-tuned model shouldn't either.

So providing a fine-tuned model shouldn't either.

I didn't mean in terms of providing. I meant that if someone provided a base model, someone took that, built upon it, then used it for a harmful purpose - of course the person modified it should be liable, not the base provider.

It's like if someone took a version of Linux, modified it, then used that modified version for an illegal act - you wouldn't go after the person who made the unmodified version.
