I never understand these guardrails. The whole point of llms (imo) is for quick access to knowledge. If I want to better understand reverse shell or kernel hooking, why not tell me? But instead, “sorry, I ain’t telling you because you will do harm” lol

Key insight: the guardrails aren't there to protect you from harmful knowledge; they're there to protect the company from all those wackos on the Internet who love to feign offense at anything that can get them a retweet, and journalists who amplify their outrage into storms big enough to depress company stock - or, in worst cases, attract attention of politicians.

There are also plausibly some guardrails resulting from oversight by three letter agencies.

I don't take everything Marc Andreessen said in his recent interview with Joe Rogan at face value, but I don't dismiss any of it either.
