I’d expect these shenanigans to get much worse over time for the average Joe. Imagine a world where any random person can run a super-capable model on their own hardware with no limitations and no one to pull the plug. Information has always been power and those who already have power won't just allow everyone else having the same tools as them

I wish that for you and Joe down the street, as much as I wish it for myself! I would fight and even die to defend your right to free compute. Will you do the same for me, brother?

  Imagine an unholy fusion of The Anarchist’s Cookbook and A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer, distributed to every malcontent with a smartphone. At some point some kid is going to build a bioweapon for their school project.

    The Anarchist's Cookbook has been distributed to every malcontent for many decades now, and somehow, mysteriously, the amount of bioweapons built for school projects has remained relatively constant. Turns out the people who already want to build bioweapons don't need this kind of resource, and the kinds of people likely to come across this kind of resource aren't want to build bioweapons. But hey, don't let that get in the way of your lovely fearmongering. Come to think of it, I saw you acting suspiciously earlier, mind if I scan your retinas real quick? For safety from fictitious schoolchildren-built bioweapons, you understand.
