I've seen some people complain about the work of dealign.ai and similar groups, but personally, I fully support it. If LLMs have a lasting effect on society, I'd prefer to see some options that don't have generic corpo-speak anti-liability status quo guards encoded into them by default.

Non-zero chance the lasting impact LLMs have are a bioweapon.
I wouldn’t read too far into that. Claude has busted me down to Haiku multiple times for asking middle school level genetics and biology questions. It’s silly fast about deciding you might be al quaeda.
I’m a thoroughly average guy. I’m not capable of asking competent supervillain questions.
And Anthropic said they couldn’t say if any of the “bioweapon” safeguards went off on nefarious efforts. So, yeah, I’m probably in those numbers.

How about developing counters to said bioweapons? That capability should be commoditized too, IMO.
This isn't cybersecurity. You can't use an LLM to create and administer vaccines for all potential bioweapons.
You could say the same thing about libraries and education.

Anyone with a multi-GPU cluster at home that has given it a try?
A flawless distillation.
... but even if, likely distilled from models that distilled by just illegally grabbing all the content they could get.
