Homegrown LLMs seem unlikely to be used by a significant fraction of LLM users, but yeah, there’s a blurred line. > Surely an LLM teaching someone chemistry falls into the same general category? I think the scale and the effort might break the analogy. Teaching yourself means a degree of patience and certain personality traits that would be rarer in a malicious person (along the lines of “a sufficiently smart person wouldn’t need to be a criminal to succeed”), with exceptions of course. Being taught by a teacher implies a degree of KYC and care about who you are. Being served on a plate the specific information on how to manufacture something dangerous bypasses those barriers, which I think changes the equation.
