As an elementary school teacher, I've had lots of parents telling me their kids read at a "high level" and are reading "hard books" and yet when I ask their kid one key question about the actual text, you realize they're just reading words and have missed the whole point.

Guardian did a much better headline framing the “LLMs/AI guardrails are easily defeated” thing than sensationalism of AI WILL TEACH YOU TO BUILD A NUCLEAR WEAPON!:

Have you ever spent a lot (like years) of time on the internet talking to people about and searching for nuclear weapons related materials?
There is SO MUCH BULLSHIT out there that LLMs got trained on.
In addition to the whole making computers innumerate thing.

You can get me to help you “design a nuclear bomb” by buying me lunch ffs.
I do not assess public LLMs like ChatGPT as a nuclear weapons proliferation issue.
Hire a grad student instead of asking ChatGPT, the research will take longer but it will be more accurate.

LLMs are trained on *waves arms*.
any state serious about building nukes will rapidly need info specific to circumstances or otw not public.
public LLMs can’t produce a new workable weapon design b/c they’re parrots not thinkers.

They were *really* counting on the big Activision/Microsoft tentpole release being a success and proving that the hoi polloi don't care about AI usage. Being proven wrong is making it dawn on them that it *is* a bubble and the public will never accept this shit.
