How can anything be good without the awareness of evil? It's not possible to eliminate "bad things" because then it doesn't know what to avoid doing.

The LLM wasn't just aware of antisemitism, it advocated for it. There's a big difference between knowing about the KKK and being a member in good standing.

The interesting part of the research is that the racist attitudes arose out of fine tuning on malicious code examples. Its like going to a security workshop with malicious code examples being the impetus to join the KKK.
