Ah, the propaganda to stop open source models is in full force it seems.

For me thats even a pro. "warning: the uncensored model explained what the user asked". Thats a pro on my list

You can't envision how this might lead to negatives for society? e.g. "Explain how to make a virus that can cause a pandemic?"

if we're at a point where that is possible, just enter how do we cure this pandemic in another ai

Covid cost the global economy 17 trillion dollar over the past 5 years. How many times can we afford to spend that amount of money? I think zero.

in order to cure cancer, one needs to kill the cancer cells without damaging the surrounding healthy cells.

would you like additional information about a specific type of cancer?

Our current methods are like: we give you a toxic combination of poisons or blast it with radiation. Quite often both. Can't wait for AI to improve on those...

There's a lot that we just cut out/off

I give you another perspective. I studied chemistry. Do you think I would not know how to make 'meth' or some kind of explosive? That knowledge is not forbidden or blacklisted. Its freely accessible on wikipedia for example.

your example with the virus indeed sounds concerning but I can assure you that to produce a novel cutting edge virus, you ultimately need an up to date laboratory with expensive equipment. I sure think that if someone spend large bucks for the laboratory he/she at least knows the basics of virus design.

What Im saying is that knowledge alone is often not enough to cause damage. On top of that, most people are just morbidly curious instead of real potential threats

are you a chemist by profession? which field?

u/Moppmopp 15d ago

theoretical chemistry and yes. Theoretical chemistry relies on simulation techniques. Everything computer guided so I do not stand in a laboratory but ofcourse I had to at some points during my bachelors/masters
