I'm reminded of the time GPT4 refused to help me assess the viability of parking a helium zeppelin an inch off of the ground to bypass health department regulations because, as an aircraft in transit, I wasn't under their jurisdiction.

You can see why the LLM companies are overly cautious around any topics that are destined to weaponized against them.
/guns?
For example the most recent psycho attack in the UK was only a few weeks ago:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm2zvjx1z14t
He stabbed 11 people and none of them have died (though one is - or at least was - in critical condition). Ok that's comically incompetent even for stabbing, but even so he would have done far more damage with a gun.
And don't give me that "but other people would have had guns and stopped him" crap. It rarely works out like that.
The obvious difference here is that people arguing for those things wrt video games, porn, or ChatGPT are mostly claiming that all those influence people to do bad things. With guns, it's a matter of physical capacity to do bad things.
A more accurate comparison would be when ChatGPT is used to write malware etc. Which has some interesting analogies, because what is defined as "malware" depends on who you ask - if I ask ChatGPT to write me a script to help defeat DRM, is that malware? The content owner would certainly like us to think so. With guns there is a vaguely similar thing where the same exact circumstances can be described as "defensive gun use" or "murder", depending on who you ask.
Due to regulation. If instead of forcing gun free zones and similar bs you push for ~everyone being armed ~24/7 it'll work exactly like that.
