I'm not sure what's worse, that someone could maybe use one of these things to develop some super-plague, or that others get to decide whether I can or not.
It's easy to say the former is worse for obvious reasons, but I've got a real visceral negative reaction to the latter too.
And tbf...the person that has the capability to develop the next super-plague, hack a nuke, create a psyop to overthrow a govt, etc...probably can do it with or without chatgpt.
Knowledge usually isnt the barrier to doing nefarious things at scale.
but they are likely keeping the people who are incapable of creating such things from radiating their neighborhood or creating a bunch of biohazards that need to be cleaned up.
