the latest Shai Hulud malware contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malware (indieweb.social)

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

  • a pipe
  • some explosive
  • a piece of critical material

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.

Yeah, the hard part is getting the critical material.
