This may sound harsh but I think some of these researchers have a sort of god complex. Something like "I am so brilliant and what I have created is so powerful that we MUST think about all the horrible things that my brilliant creation can do". Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive next token predictor.

"Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive hot water bottle that turns a crank." "Meanwhile what they have created is just a very impressive rock where neutrons hit other neutrons." The point isn't how it works, the point is what it does.
