imagine someone actually assembling a nuclear or biological weapon based off LLM responses, like they can't even get a simple fucking web search right most of the time, and you wanna put together deadly materials based on that shit??
Not to mention that (public) training data on this is scarce for obvious reasons, so an LLM will make things up even harder than it does with basic questions for which tons of training data exists.
It's not that hard
Cut the critical piece in half, put each half on one side of the pipe, add the explosives to one side, so that the halfes collide on triggering.
Boom, you've built a small nuke.
* the assembler will die a painful death after a while.
Yeah, the hard part is getting the critical material.
What's the "worst" that could happen? It doesn't work? Oh no, the biological/nuclear weapon doesn't work!
it blows up in the makers face, it reacts uncleanly and leaves more nuclear waste than if it more completely went off, uhhh a bunch more ways it could fuck up
