I’d love a reply on this. Common attack vectors I read on this forum include 1. powerful elite bribes existing labs in US to manufacture bioweapons 2. nation state sets up independent biotech supply chain and starts manufacturing bioweapons.
This has been an option for decades, a fully capable LLM does not meaningfully lower the threshold for this. It’s already too easy.
This has been an option since the 1950s. Any national medical system is capable of doing this, Project Coast could be reproduced by nearly any nation state.
I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m just saying that the LLMs don’t make it worse.
I have yet to find a commercial LLM that I can’t make tell me how to build a working improvised explosive (I can grade the LLMs performance because I’ve worked with the USG on the issue and don’t need a LLM to make evil).

Makes sense, thanks for replying.
