Raw LLM Responses

For most of the biggest dangers of having too much specialized knowledge, the issue is material availability rather than the knowledge. Otherwise, there's enough specialists in any given field out there for it to have *already* been a risk. To your example: maybe anyone can learn biology/genetic engineering from chatGPT, but they could always have learned that from textbooks and other publicly available sources anyway. But when they go to order synthesized DNA as their starting point for making a bioweapon, it will flag the system that this sequence could be the precursor for something dangerous. Same deal with nuclear weapons. A few Physics PhDs could start from first principles and re-invent an atomic bomb. But where will they get the enriched radioactive material?
