The word "safety" has been seriously overloaded lately. I'm used to "safety" meaning actual physical safety measures, like seatbelts, helmets, railings... things keeping you safe from physical injury. When OSHA talks about a "safe" working environment, they're talking about fall protection, harmful chemicals, contagious diseases, and so on.

I don't know what "safety" even means in the context of an LLM that outputs nothing but text. How is text going to cause me to fall off of a forklift or get me hit by a car? How can text injure me?
