    Oh yeah? Well, my upcoming AI models pose a higher risk of enabling the discovery of the location of the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, which would [allegedly] make ones armies invincible and impervious to biological weapons.

    Invest now!

    “Our default behavior for the general public will intentionally err on the side of caution, by training models to provide high-level insights that support expert understanding while withholding sufficient detail to prevent novice misuse.” — So users have to have a premium subscription for bioweapons development assistance?

    I don’t understand the emphasis on biology, it is a potential area of concern admittedly but only one of a great many. It sounds like someone’s personal idiosyncratic fear of disease.
