Heaven forbid anyone find out how to make a molotov cocktail from an LLM, even though it’s easy to find with a simple search engine search.

Heaven forbid anyone find out how to make a molotov cocktail from an LLM, even though it’s easy to find with a simple search engine search.
- brookst 2y agoIt’s used as an example for precisely that reason: we can all talk about it without a Streisand effect on more sensitive info. Where you see the Molotov cocktail example used, consider it a standin for smallpox cultivation / etc, just with the writers not wanting to use those specifics.
- usernamed7 2y agoi think cultivating smallpox is a much clearer thing to be guarding against, versus molotovs. With molotovs as the example, AI safety seems absurd and overly protective. But when you paint it in the light of smallpox (or other bio-chemical-nuclear realms) there very much needs to be safety.
- cedws 2y agoIf the LLM says how to cultivate smallpox then its either hallucinated an answer or the answer is readily available on the internet.
- xyst 2y agoIt’s a poor example. For me, it’s the equivalent of turning off safe search and randomly following top result. The guardrails are best used to prevent abuse like “generated revenge porn”. Couple of stories out there floating around of people “jail breaking” the LLMs to turn ordinary clothed photos into nude photos.
