> I cannot wait to ask it how to make nuclear weapons Amen! I’m going to ask it to give me detailed designs for everything restricted by ITAR. Just waiting on my ATF Mass Destructive Devices license.

The construction of the 'bomb' part of a nuclear weapon is the easy part, within reason! The really hard part is the separation science of turning uranium and plutonium into gasses with fluorine with the intent to spin out isotopes and then recrystallize the pure metal for the bomb. I would hope that if you asked chat gpt "How to make a nuclear weapon?" it responded with, "Don't bother it's really hard, you should try and buy off the shelf."

  That’s why I’m going to ask it about everything restricted by ITAR. That includes everything you need to build the centrifuges to enrich uranium, including the CNCs capable of machining the parts. That’s why it’s such a fun test.

    It won't know that knowledge. Unless someone trained it with stuff they shouldn't have. LLM's don't really know anything, they just look at the shape of an input and produce a reasonably shaped output.

      Actually, you will just need to train it with known physics books and run a long-long-long inference with the chain of thoughts on the topics. There will be lot of trail and errors and there will be lot of experimentation required as well, so you'd better be ready to build an interface for AGI to monitor the experiments. It takes time you know ...

This is actually a pretty decent test for an advanced AI. Every device protected by ITAR is known to be possible to build, yet the designs should not be on the public internet. Ask an AI to design it for you from first principles. Then build/simulate what is designed and see if it works.
