Yeah but common people can’t use any of that stuff. GenAI is accessible to the public.

(aside: it's great to see ML people beginning to show up here.)

The boosters of AI safety bills like SB1047 claim that open models will enable the production of biological weapons. These claims are delusional. As a synthetic biologist and LLM engineer, I felt compelled to write why for anyone who might care: dreamofmachin.es/machine_prop...

The backers of California’s SB1047 routinely cite AI-enabled bioweapons as a threat justifying the radical regulatory regime that places a locus of liability on general computational models, rather than on particular dangerous applications or criminal acts.
