How not to write the Cookbook of Doom?
Answer by Anne TrotterJun 16, 202310

That's the fun part: you can't. It's not even an AI problem, it's a "we as a society are at this point with a lot of tech" problem. You can see it playing out with guns, to a certain extent, but guns are a miniscule threat compared to CRISPR and AI. Guns are just one low ladder rung on the "destroys things" stairway to heaven. Rock < knife < arrow < muzzle loader < automatic weapon < grenade < missile < nuke < CRISPR, in threat level right now, and AI is sitting beside each of them ready to give them a nudge into the hands of anyone with basic typing skills and a bit of dedication to engineering. 

The only way I can see is if you present the info to a limited audience of validated individuals, but who has both the ethical maturity and the power to do the right thing at the same time right now?
