OK, so all software must be regulated?
Arguing that simple tools can be used for dangerous results and thus must be regulated or made “safe” is like saying since more murders in America are committed with hammers than long guns, you must show an ID to buy a hammer at Home Depot, and demanding "safety" training of text continuation models is like requiring hammers be redesigned to have pillows for hammerheads.
We already have laws against bad acts. Hold wrongdoers accountable. Leave hammers alone.

A language model trained on pure military information, communication and actions could be quite dangerous if given an ability to direct, or contribute, to actual action. Not arguing anything about regulation.
