Precisely. I spent weeks learning about cybersecurity when GPT-4 first came out, as I could finally ask as many stupid questions as I liked, get detailed examples and use-cases for different attacks and defenses, and generally actually learn how the internet around me works. Now it refuses, because OpenAI's morals apparently don't include spreading openly available knowledge about how to defend yourself. Scary. I have also been using it to generate useful political critiques (given a particular theoretical tradition, some style notes, and specific articles to critique, it's actually excitingly good). What if OpenAI decides that's a threat? What reason do we have to think that a powerful institution would not take this course of action, in the cold light of history?
