I don’t understand the panic over ‘LLMs can tell people how to build biological weapons and plan assassinations’. So can Tom Clancy novels. And both sources will tell you things that are more likely to get you killed than achieve your nefarious goal.
@david_chisnall Had a long drive the other day and was thinking about exactly this.
Also, what's up with this LLMs will take over the world anyway. These things require so much energy that this will just not happen. Come back if you run these on small devices with marginal energy requirements.

@david_chisnall Checks out, as the LLMs were likely trained on Tom Clancy novels among other sources.

@david_chisnall Yes, and the genome for, for example, the 1918 A(H1N1) influenza virus has been openly published for decades.
