I expect the supposedly dangerous information (that the authors are careful not to actually tell you) is some combination of obvious (to a person of ordinary skill in the art), useless, and wrong, roughly analogous to the following steps for building a nuclear bomb:
Acquire 100 kilograms of highly enriched uranium.
Assemble into a gun-type fission weapon.
Earth-Shattering Kaboom!
This “draw the rest of the fucking owl” kind of advice is good for a laugh, and as fodder for fear-mongering about actually open AI (not to be confused with the duplicitously named OpenAI), but little else.
I think this is mostly not true: you can pay other people to do the difficult parts for you, as long as you are careful to keep them from learning what it is you’re trying to do.
