I'm pretty sure it's far easier to audit people downloading LLMs capable of providing such coherent instructions than it is to audit all uses of search that could produce the same instructions (esp. since the query could be very oblique).

In any case, just based on the experience with LLMs so far, you cannot meaningfully censor them in this way without restricting access to the weights. Any kind of "guardrails" are finetuned into them, and can just as easily be finetuned out.

I'm not buying it. It's just hysteria. Evil doesn't come from opportunity. If it did, we would have far higher rates of mayhem than we do. Read a 1950s chemistry book or murder mystery. Or, <shudder> a 1980s spy movie. Information does not move the needle.
